American Regent Initiates Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Concentrated Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, 23.4%, 30 mL Single Dose Vial Due to Particulates

June 15, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

SHIRLEY, N.Y., June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — American Regent is
conducting a voluntary nationwide recall to the user and consumer
level of the following product:

Concentrated Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, 23.4%, 30 mL
Single Dose Vial, Lot # 0362, Expiration Date: May 2012,

NDC # 0517-2930-25

recall.  
 

This voluntary recall was initiated because some of the vials of

lot of product is administered to patients.  

Concentrated Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, 23.4% is indicated

facilities should not use American Regent Inc., Concentrated Sodium
Chloride Injection, USP, 23.4%, Lot # 0362 for patient care and
should immediately quarantine any product for return.
