Recall details

- Reason for recall
- Risk of Leakage: When the PhaSeal Protector and Injector are used with drug vials with thick rubber stoppers which have a concave upper surface and a flat bottom surface there is a potential for leakage. These rubber stoppers are made of a harder rubber formulation and may be more difficult to penetrate.
- Action taken
- On or about 6/15/2007, the firm sent advisory notice letters to the end users and the instructions for use have been updated by adding a precaution statement regarding the use of thick rubber stoppers. The firm is also updating the customer training program to include how to handle drug vials with thick concave rubber stoppers.
