FDA Announces Additional Recalls Associated with Nurse Assist Recalled Products

In November, 2023, the FDA warned consumers, healthcare providers, and healthcare facilities not to use recalled saline (0.9% sodium chloride) and sterile water medical products manufactured by Nurse Assist, LLC, and sold under various brands because they may not be sterile. Recalled products were sold under the following brands: Nurse Assist, Cardinal, Covidien, Halyard Owens Minor, Idexx, Mac Medical, McKesson, Medichoice Owens Minor, Medline, Sol, SteriCare, Trudell, and Vyaire. FDA recently announced that, in direct response to that recall, distributors and manufacturers of kits and trays containing the recalled products are also initiating voluntary recalls.
