Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Piramal Critical Care, Inc. is recalling approximately 100 glass vials of Rocuronium Bromide Injection (50mg/5 mL). The recall was initiated because the vials were missing a critical statement on the flip cap warning that the medication is a paralyzing agent. This medication is used in hospitals and clinics for patients undergoing surgery or requiring mechanical ventilation. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

Risk

The absence of the paralyzing agent warning on the vial cap could lead to accidental administration of the drug to patients who do not require it. Because this drug paralyzes the muscles used for breathing, accidental administration can cause respiratory arrest, serious injury, or death if not immediately managed by medical staff.
