Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 18,000 units of HUDSON RCI Addipak Unit Dose Vials (5mL Sterile 0.9% NaCl Solution for Inhalation USP) because the product was accidentally shipped to customers after it had been marked for disposal. The vials were originally flagged for scrap following an investigation into potential sterility failures. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected vials as they may not be sterile, which can lead to serious health complications when inhaled.
The use of a non-sterile inhalation solution can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into the lungs, potentially causing severe respiratory infections or other life-threatening illnesses, especially in vulnerable patients.
