Closure Medical: NEXABAND S/C Topical Adhesive Recalled for Incorrect Package Inserts

Agency Publication Date: May 2, 2003

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Closure Medical is recalling 5,506 units of NEXABAND S/C Topical Adhesive (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) because the packages were found to contain the wrong product instructions. Instead of the NEXABAND S/C inserts, these containers were discovered with NEXABAND Liquid inserts, which may lead to incorrect use of the medical adhesive. The recall affects 1.5ml bottles distributed nationwide through 16 distributors and their affiliates. If you are a veterinary professional or pet owner using this product, you should contact the manufacturer or your healthcare provider to ensure you have the correct usage information.

Risk

The use of an incorrect package insert means users are receiving instructions for a different product formulation (NEXABAND Liquid) rather than the S/C version they purchased. This mix-up can lead to improper application of the topical adhesive, potentially compromising the effectiveness of surgical site closures or wound management in veterinary patients.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your veterinary supply inventory for NEXABAND S/C Topical Adhesive (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) in 1.5ml bottles, identified by recall number V-014-4.
  2. Open the product container and examine the package insert to see if it is labeled 'NEXABAND Liquid' instead of 'NEXABAND S/C'.
  3. Contact Closure Medical or the distributor where the product was purchased to report the mix-up and obtain the correct product labeling and instructions.
  4. Consult with a veterinarian or healthcare provider regarding any concerns about the application or effectiveness of the product if it has already been used.
  5. For further information or additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
