What happened

West Pharma. Services IL, LTD has recalled approximately 3.9 million units of Vial2BAG DC 13mm devices (a single-use, prescription medical device) due to adverse events reported when the product is used with oxytocin in pregnant women. The device may fail to properly mix the drug with the intravenous solution, potentially causing the drug to pool in concentrated amounts within the device and be delivered to patients as sudden bolus injections rather than as a controlled infusion.

The recalled devices were distributed in the United States through a Missouri distributor and include specific lot numbers ranging from 7153 through A839. The source document does not specify what actions affected consumers should take regarding this recall.

Hazard
