Synthetopes Inc: Various Radiopharmaceutical Cold Kits Recalled for Lack of Processing Controls

Agency Publication Date: June 13, 2019

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Synthetopes Inc. has issued a voluntary recall for 273 total vials across eight different radiopharmaceutical cold kits, including Pentreotide, Sn-DMSA, Sn-Mertiatide, Sulfur Colloid, Sn-d,l-HMPAO, Sn-DTPA, Sn-Tetrofosmin, and Sn-Pyrophosphate. These products are being recalled because of a lack of processing controls, which means the company cannot guarantee the quality or safety of the drugs during the manufacturing process. No injuries or specific adverse events have been reported to date, but the affected units include all lots that are currently within their expiration dates.

Risk

A lack of processing controls during manufacturing can lead to products that are contaminated or do not meet potency specifications, potentially resulting in incorrect medical imaging results or unintended reactions for patients receiving these diagnostic drugs.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medical inventory for the following Synthetopes, Inc. products: Pentreotide (Recall D-1399-2019), Sn-DMSA (Recall D-1400-2019), Sn-Mertiatide (Recall D-1401-2019), Sulfur Colloid (Recall D-1402-2019), Sn-d,l-HMPAO (Recall D-1403-2019), Sn-DTPA (Recall D-1404-2019), Sn-Tetrofosmin (Recall D-1405-2019), or Sn-Pyrophosphate (Recall D-1406-2019).
  2. Verify if the vials are currently within their expiration date, as all lots remaining within expiry are affected by this recall.
  3. Immediately stop using any of these products and quarantine all affected vials to prevent their use in medical procedures.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider, pharmacist, or the medical facility where these products were sourced to discuss alternative options and receive guidance on patient care.
