Tacy Medical Syringe Convenience Packs Recalled Due to Potential Sterility Loss

Tacy Medical syringe convenience packs may have pinhole leaks near the seal that compromise sterility. Affected lots 222270319 and 220834335 were distributed across 10 U.S. states.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving sterile injection equipment with a potential for loss of sterility. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, non-sterile syringes represent a clear risk of serious infection if used for injections, fitting the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
