Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc Broviac 4.2 Fr Single-Lumen CV Catheter Cutdown Tray recall: Due to damage to outer tray that can potentially compromise the sterile

Recall published 8 months ago

Due to damage to outer tray that can potentially compromise the sterile barrier

The hazard: Sterility or particulate concern

Particulate matter or a sterility failure prompted this notice, the most common reason injectable and ophthalmic products are withdrawn.

What the notice says: Due to damage to outer tray that can potentially compromise the sterile barrier

Why it matters: The product was made or packaged in conditions that cannot assure sterility, or visible particles were found in it. For anything injected, infused or used in the eye, that is a direct route for contamination into the body.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Watch for fever, chills, pain, redness, swelling or discharge at an injection site, and for a red, painful or suddenly blurred eye after using an eye product. Any of these needs same-day medical attention. Do not wait to see whether it settles, and tell the clinician which product and lot you used so it can be reported against the recall.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Sterility

Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc — Particulate matter or a sterility failure prompted this notice, the most common reason injectable and ophthalmic products are withdrawn.

  1. Stop using the affected lot and check the lot number on your own carton or vial against the codes listed above.
  2. Report any infection or reaction you think the product caused to FDA MedWatch.
  3. Do not use a vial or syringe with visible particles, cloudiness or discolouration, whether or not it is on the recall list.
  4. Call your prescriber or pharmacy today about a replacement from an unaffected lot — do not simply skip doses of a medicine you depend on.

What the company owes you

A recalled medicine is the manufacturer’s cost to carry, not yours or your pharmacist’s.

  • The purchase price or co-pay is refundable, and so is the cost of returning the product if they ask you to ship it.
  • Ask the pharmacy to handle the claim where they can — they process recall returns in bulk and it saves you the correspondence.
  • Keep the carton, the leaflet and the pharmacy label together until the claim is closed.
  • Costs beyond the price of the medicine need to go to the company directly, in writing, with the recall number quoted.
