Boca Medical Products, Inc. Issues Nationwide Recall of Insulin Syringe Product
Boca Medical Products, Inc., of Coral Springs, Florida is initiating a recall of 41 boxes of Closercare Insulin Syringe 29g 1cc product lot number 5JCZ1 as displayed on the inner case and 2320 boxes of Ultilet Insulin Syringe 30g 1/2cc product lot number 5KEO1 as displayed on the inner case. The products are being recalled because of bacterial contamination with Paenibacillus. This presents a risk of local infection due to soft tissue injection with a contaminated syringe as well as a risk of introduction of contaminating organisms into a previously sterile vial. The introduced contamination may degrade the insulin, which could lead to problems maintaining insulin levels. Previous recalled lot was 5GEX1.
