Wolf, Henke Sass, Gmbh has recalled approximately 216,000 Henke-Ject-2 part luer sterile single-use syringes because the sterile barrier packaging may be damaged. This defect means the syringes may no longer be sterile, which can lead to serious infections if used for injections or fluid withdrawal. These medical devices were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and Canada, between July 2023 and October 2023. If you have these syringes, you should contact your healthcare provider or the manufacturer immediately for instructions on how to handle the affected units.
A damaged sterile barrier allows bacteria and other contaminants to enter the syringe packaging, potentially causing life-threatening infections in patients receiving intravenous, intramuscular, or other types of injections.
