Sentara Infusion Services is recalling 1,517 units of various infusion medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, steroids, and nutrition bags, due to a lack of sterility assurance. This means the medications may contain microorganisms that could cause serious infections when injected. The affected medications were dispensed by Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services to patients nationwide between late December 2022 and early January 2023. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, and the firm initiated the recall after identifying potential sterility issues.
Using a medication that is not properly sterile can introduce bacteria or fungi directly into the bloodstream or tissues, potentially leading to life-threatening infections or sepsis. This risk is particularly high for patients with weakened immune systems or those receiving intravenous infusions through medical pumps.
