Fresenius Medical Care Holdings is recalling 53,424 bags of Sodium Chloride 0.9% Injection, USP (saline), in the 1000 mL size. This recall was initiated because the product was potentially exposed to storage temperatures below the recommended range, which may cause the packaging to leak. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this issue.
Leaking packaging can lead to a loss of sterility in the saline solution. Using a non-sterile injectable product poses a serious risk of infection, which can lead to severe health complications or life-threatening conditions for patients.
