The FDA has announced an expanded recall of saline and sterile water products manufactured by Nurse Assist after reports of adverse events surfaced. Initially recalled on November 6th, due to concerns about sterility, Nurse Assist products had no associated adverse events at that time.
However, a recent FDA update on February 13th, disclosed reports of adverse events linked to Nurse Assist products, prompting further investigation. Details on the events remain undisclosed.
The affected products, including sterile saline bottles and various syringes, were distributed in the U.S. and Canada from November 2021 to mid-September 2023. Notably, twelve Nurse Assist brand products and several others under different brand names like Stericare and Medline are included in the recall, urging consumers to check their supplies for safety.
