What happened

Spectra Medical Devices, LLC is conducting a Class II voluntary recall of Lidocaine HCl Injection USP (25x5 mL Single-Dose Ampules) due to a lack of assurance of sterility.

Who it affects

This affects Spectra Medical Devices, LLC, healthcare facilities using NDC 65282-1605-1, and personnel involved in the procurement and quality oversight of sterile injectable narcotics or anesthetics.

Why it matters

A Class II recall due to sterility concerns suggests a breakdown in aseptic processing or environmental controls during manufacturing. This indicates potential systemic issues in the quality agreement or oversight between the U.S. distributor and the South Korean manufacturer, necessitating a review of sterilization validation protocols and batch record documentation.

Practical takeaway

Verify current inventory for NDC 65282-1605-1. Conduct an immediate audit of sterile processing validation and environmental monitoring data for current lots of injectable products sourced from international manufacturing partners.
