Wuxi Medical Instrument Factory Co., Ltd. is recalling 37,500 boxes of ViaMed Alcohol Prep Pads (70% Isopropyl Alcohol) because they may not be sterile. The pads were manufactured under conditions that did not meet quality assurance standards, meaning they could contain bacteria. These sterile pads are used by consumers and healthcare providers to clean the skin before an injection or minor medical procedure.
Using an alcohol pad that is not sterile can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into a puncture wound or broken skin, which may lead to serious infections. This risk is highest for patients with weakened immune systems or those who must use these pads for frequent medical injections.
