Plain-English summary
Premier Pharmacy Labs Inc is recalling 3,570 units of Hydromorphone HCl 1 mg/mL PF INJ. 1mL in a 3mL Sterile Single-Dose Syringe. The affected product is identified by NDC 69623-249-10 and includes lots HYD030118IJDSA, HYD030118IJDSB, HYD030118IJDSD, and HYD030118IJDSE, all with a beyond-use date of 05/30/2018.
The recall was initiated due to a lack of assurance of sterility. Microbial contamination was detected during routine testing of subsequent unreleased product lots. This issue was attributed to an interaction between the product syringe and the tamper-evident container closure, which may result in the potential introduction of microorganisms into the products.
The affected syringes were distributed nationwide in the USA. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the recalled product and contact their pharmacist or the recalling firm for further instructions.
