Vygon Recalls LifeGuard Huber Needles Due to Packaging Sterility Concerns

Vygon is voluntarily recalling 396 units of LifeGuard Huber Needles because packaging adhesive gaps may compromise sterility.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is a voluntary precautionary measure initiated due to a potential packaging defect that may affect sterility, with no reported illnesses or injuries in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Vygon MFG, Inc., dba/ Churchill Medical Systems, Inc., is conducting a voluntary recall of 396 units of 20Ga x .75 LifeGuard Huber Needles with Y-site (Product Code: CLGY-2034, Lot Number: 1706017D). The recall was initiated after the Tyvek supplier notified Vygon of issues with their product, specifically that the Tyvek may not be coated completely, causing gaps in the adhesive used to seal the product packaging.

This potential lack of adhesive may affect the sterility of the product. The affected units were distributed in the U.S. The source text does not specify specific healthcare facilities or end-users, nor does it report any illnesses or injuries associated with the use of these products.

Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected lots immediately and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or replacement.
