ICU Medical Inc. is recalling 1,920 bags of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection (USP 100 mL) because the bags may leak, which compromises the sterility of the saline solution. This veterinary product is a prescription-only injectable used in animal healthcare. While no incidents or injuries have been reported to date, the loss of sterility in an injectable product can lead to serious infections in treated animals. The affected bags were distributed to North Carolina and are identified by lot number 5829936.
Leaking bags can allow bacteria or other contaminants to enter the solution, making it no longer sterile. Administering a non-sterile injectable product to an animal poses a significant risk of infection or other serious health complications.
