Injectable Drug Recalled for Unverified Sterility After FDA Inspection

Central Admixture Pharmacy Services is recalling 1673 bags of HyperLyte CR Injection due to lack of sterility assurance. An FDA inspection raised questions about whether the product met sterility standards.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for an injectable product with questionable sterility assurance. However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical (lack of assurance rather than confirmed contamination). Per the rubric, this scores as High (3) since it represents risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported.
