Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Integra LifeSciences Corp. Brand Name: MediHoney ¿ Product Name: MediHoney ¿ Tube recall: Packaging failures were identified which could lead to a breach

Recall published 1+ years ago

Packaging failures were identified which could lead to a breach in the sterile barrier.

The hazard: Sterility or particulate concern

This recall is about sterility assurance. It does not mean every unit is contaminated — it means the manufacturer cannot demonstrate that none of them is.

What the notice says: Packaging failures were identified which could lead to a breach in 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

Integra LifeSciences Corp. — This recall is about sterility assurance. It does not mean every unit is contaminated — it means the manufacturer cannot demonstrate that none of them is.

  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.

Refunds and replacements

With medicines, a replacement supply matters more than cash, and that is what pharmacies are set up to provide.

  • Ask the dispensing pharmacy for a like-for-like replacement from an unaffected lot. This is the fastest route and usually costs nothing.
  • For a mail-order or online pharmacy, use the recall line listed on this page rather than the general support queue.
  • If the recall voided a fill you had already paid for, your insurer will normally authorise a replacement ahead of schedule. Quote the recall number.
  • If you paid out of pocket, ask for a refund of the co-pay or purchase price and keep the receipt the pharmacy issues.
