Plain-English summary
Healix Infusion Therapy, Inc. is recalling 220 prefilled syringes of fentanyl 2750 mcg/55 mL (50 mcg/mL). The product is a compounded drug intended for institutional or office use only and is not for resale. The recall affects Lots 7083-0, 7202-0, and 7222-0, which have 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 creates a lack of assurance of sterility for the compounded syringes.
The affected product was distributed in Texas and Georgia. Because this is a compounded drug for institutional or office use, it is not typically available to the general public. Healthcare facilities and offices that have received these specific lots should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
