Plain-English summary
Hobbs Medical, Inc. has recalled Posi-Stop Injection Needles (Catalog Number 4722, UDI-DI: M84947220) due to incorrect expiration dates displayed on device labels. The incorrect dating extends the labeled shelf life beyond the actual expiration, creating a risk that users may unknowingly utilize expired sterile medical devices.
The recall affects 17 units with lot number H06-18-046R, distributed worldwide from March 25, 2018 through September 28, 2020. Affected devices carry expiration dates between November 1, 2022 and September 1, 2025 on their labels. Distribution included the United States and Canada, Austria, Belgium, Finland, and Norway.
Healthcare facilities and individuals in possession of these devices should identify any Posi-Stop Injection Needles with the affected lot number (ending in "R"). Such devices should not be used, as the actual sterility and integrity of the product cannot be assured. Contact Hobbs Medical, Inc. for instructions on return or proper disposal.
