  • Notas adicionales en la data
    According to the risk assessment performed by the BD Medical Department, the health risk was classified as limited severity and unlikely occurrence, resulting in a low health risk index (green zone). This classification of severity and occurrence indicates that this defect is unlikely to trigger the need for medical or surgical intervention in order to prevent permanent impairment of a function or structure of the organism. The medical evaluation concluded that the partially opened sealing defect in the 20 mL syringe has the potential of being noticed by the health care professional before use and the syringe being discarded. If open sealing is not noticed and the syringe is used to prepare medication, it is unlikely that any microorganism has migrated to the fluid path. In addition, considering that a sterile needle must be attached to the syringe for aspiration procedures of blood or body fluids there is no health risk in these procedures when performed with this product.
  • Causa
    Bd received a customer complaint stating that some units of lot 4161132 had the packaging open. samples were sent to the manufacturer for evaluation, which confirmed that the packages were partially opened in the sealing area. an investigation was initiated and identified that the batch was produced with the forming temperature outside the one specified in the validation, which may lead to the occurrence of the partially open sealing defect. this defect impacts the integrity of the package and can potentially affect the sterility of the product. during the verification of the comprehensiveness of the situation, it was identified that lot 4227147 was also manufactured at a temperature outside the specified range. although the bd received no complaints and had not found any open sealed unit for lot 4227147 during the investigation, it was still decided to start the recall procedure for the two batches. the company informs that to date, no adverse events related to this product have been registered.
