Healix Infusion Therapy is recalling 48 bags of compounded fentanyl in Texas and Georgia because the supplier recalled the source drug due to loose or missing vial crimps.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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 severity score under the rubric, particularly given the risk of infection associated with a lack of sterility assurance.

Plain-English summary

Healix Infusion Therapy, Inc. is recalling 48 bags of fentanyl 2500 mcg/250 mL (10 mcg/mL) in 0.9% Sodium Chloride. The affected product is a compounded drug intended for institutional or office use only. The specific lots involved are 7230-0 and 7269-0, both with an expiration date of 08/14.

The recall was initiated because the firm received fentanyl from a supplier who recalled the product due to loose or missing fliptop vial crimps. This defect resulted in a lack of assurance of sterility for the compounded infusion bags.

The affected product was distributed in Texas and Georgia. Because this is a compounded drug for institutional or office use, it is not intended for direct consumer purchase. Healthcare facilities and offices that may have received these specific lots should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for instructions.
