Sodium Chloride Recalled

On July 24, 2024, B. Braun Medical Inc. recalled two lots of sodium chloride (NaCl) injection 0.9% 1000mL – E8000. The affected lots were recalled because they were released with particulate matter inside the bags, which could potentially cause harm or permanent impairment. The presence of particulate matter could increase the risk of fluid leakage from the bags, leading to contamination with microorganisms and potential bloodstream infections. Furthermore, if hazardous medication is added to the bags, a leak could lead to exposure and harm to those who come in contact with the contents. Sodium chloride 0.9% injection solution is used to replenish lost salt and water due to certain conditions. It is also a sterile solution used to dissolve or dilute medications before giving them intravenously. For more information contact B.
