Summary

Nomax Inc. is recalling 78 cartons of Dry Eye Test (fluorescein sodium) Ophthalmic Strips because the medication is subpotent, meaning it does not contain the full required amount of the active ingredient. This defect can lead to inaccurate diagnostic results during eye examinations. These 100-count sterile strip cartons were distributed nationwide across the United States. If you have this product, you should contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on alternative products and instructions on returning the item.

Risk

A subpotent drug may not perform as intended during a clinical eye test, which could lead to an incorrect diagnosis or an incomplete assessment of a patient's dry eye condition. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date for this specific recall.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by checking the packaging for 'Dry Eye Test, Fluorescein Sodium, Ophthalmic Strips USP (0.12mg Fluorescein Sodium)' in 100-count cartons (containing 50 pouches of 2 strips each).
  2. Look for the National Drug Code (NDC) 51801-008-15 and specific Lot Number 13336 with an expiration date of 07/23 (July 2023) on the carton or pouch.
  3. Immediately contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist to inform them you have been using a subpotent diagnostic product and to ask for professional guidance.
