Central Admixture Pharmacy Services, Inc. (CAPS) is recalling 19,843 units of various IV bags and syringes because they may not be sterile. The affected products include various medications such as Epinephrine, Phenylephrine, Oxytocin, Vancomycin, and Neonatal TPN Starter Bags distributed nationwide to hospitals and healthcare facilities. This recall was initiated due to a lack of validation data for sanitization cycles during the manufacturing process. While no injuries or infections have been reported to date, the lack of sterility assurance poses a significant safety risk for patients receiving these intravenous treatments.
The administration of non-sterile injectable products directly into the bloodstream can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening infections, such as sepsis or meningitis. Because these products are intended for intravenous use in clinical settings, any compromise in sterility increases the risk of systemic infection for vulnerable patients.
Quarantine and return of hospital-administered medications.
