Class II · Moderate riskTerminated Initiated Aug 28, 2012 (14 years ago)
I-C Drops
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
Lack of Assurance of Sterility: The product is being recalled because the product label does not state sterile in accordance with 21 CFR Part 200.50(a)(1), Ophthalmic Preparations and Dispensers, and it is not in compliance with 21 CFR Part 349, Ophthalmic Drug Products for Over-The-Counter Use.
A product that must be sterile could not be assured sterile, or was contaminated. A top reason for injectables, eye drops and IV products - loss of sterility assurance can lead to serious infections. All sterility / contamination recalls.
What was recalled
I-C Drops, Eye Cleansing Agent, 15 ml ASN/Maxam P.O. Box 1277 Hood River, OR 97031
Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
Non-Sterility: Green Valley Drugs received positive sterility results from their testing lab on two lots of Methylprednisolone Preservative Free 40 mg/mL injectable suspension and one lot of Cyanocobalamin 1000 mcg/mL injection, 30 mL MDV.

Lack of Assurance of Sterility: Complains of a loose crimp applied to the fliptop vial; and a missing stopper and flip cap were received and therefore sterility cannot be assured.
