Nipro Medical Corporation has recalled approximately 261,000 NIPRO Disposable Insulin Syringes (1cc 29G x 1/2", U-40) intended for veterinary use. The recall was initiated because 0.5cc syringes were incorrectly packed into pouches, boxes, and cases labeled as 1.0cc. This mislabeling could cause pet owners to administer an incorrect dose of insulin to their animals. The affected products were shipped to one distributor, Butler Animal Health Supply in Dublin, Ohio. If you have these syringes, contact your veterinarian or Nipro Medical Corporation for further guidance and replacement instructions.
Using a 0.5cc syringe that is labeled as a 1.0cc syringe can lead to significant under-dosing of insulin. This could result in uncontrolled blood sugar levels and serious health complications for diabetic animals.
