Premier Pharmacy Labs Recalls Mitomycin Irrigation Due to Sterility Concerns

Premier Pharmacy Labs is recalling 1,834 vials of Mitomycin Preservative Free Irrigation because FDA inspections found insufficient environmental controls that may compromise sterility.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which corresponds to a Severe rating under the rubric due to the potential for serious health consequences from a lack of sterility assurance in a medical product.
