Nurse Assist, LLC is recalling approximately 113,182 cases of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP and Sterile Water for Irrigation USP due to concerns that the products may not be sterile. The recall includes various prefilled syringes, bottles, and cups sold under brands such as Cardinal Health, Halyard, Medline, and McKesson. These products, which were distributed nationwide between late 2021 and late 2023, may contain bacteria or other contaminants that could lead to serious medical complications.
Using non-sterile irrigation solutions can cause life-threatening infections, especially when used in surgical procedures or for cleaning open wounds. The lack of sterility assurance means the product could introduce harmful bacteria directly into a patient's body.
Potential lack of sterility assurance; products should be removed from use.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
