Recall Of Monoject Syringes Sold In US, Bermuda

According to a notice posted on the FDA website, Covidien has initiated a voluntary recall of certain lots of Monoject™ Prefill Flush Syringes sold in the United States and Bermuda.

They said the reason for the recall was “due to the risk that a number of the syringes were filled with water but not subjected to the autoclave sterilization process. These products are labeled as either sodium chloride flush or heparin lock flush.

“Some of these syringes have the mismatched syringe tip cap, syringe label, filled volume and wrapper. However, for the sodium chloride flush syringes with matched tip cap, syringe label, filled volume and wrapper, there are no visual cues for the clinician to identify the problematic products.”
