Nurse Assist Initiates Nationwide Voluntary Recall of All Unexpired Lots of I.V. Flush Syringes

10/04/2016 08:14 PM EDT

Nurse Assist, Inc. announced today that it is voluntarily recalling all unexpired lots of I.V. Flush Syringes due to a potential link to Burkholderia cepacia bloodstream infections with the product. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the effects of Burkholderia cepacia on people 'vary widely, ranging from no symptoms at all to serious respiratory infections, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis.' If a patient is having symptoms, contact your health care provider.
