Fresenius Medical Care is recalling approximately 374,319 Luer Lock syringes across three different models due to potential defects that may allow blood to leak back through the device or the presence of foreign material. These syringes include the 10mL Luer Lock (with and without needles) and the 3mL Luer Lock with a 20GX1 needle. These medical devices were distributed nationwide and are being recalled because the reported defects could compromise the sterile field or lead to contamination during medical procedures. Consumers and healthcare providers should identify these products by their specific part numbers and UDI-DI codes.
The syringes may suffer from blood backfill leakage or contain foreign material, which can lead to infection, exposure to bloodborne pathogens for healthcare workers, or the introduction of contaminants into a patient's bloodstream.
