PARACENTESIS KIT, REF: AK-00376, ASK-00376-VCU

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included into kits and sets. The supplier was found to have quality issues and limited reports of drug ineffectiveness, and if sterility of a water-based injectable product is compromised this could lead to serious or life-threatening injuries.
