Bracco Diagnostics Inc. Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Isovue® (iopamidol injection) Pre-Filled Power InjectorSyringes due to Presence of Particulates

December 1, 2012 By The FDA Leave a Comment

Bracco Diagnostics Inc. (BDI) is voluntarily initiating a Class I recall of nine (9) lots of Isovue® (iopamidol injection) Pre-Filled Power Injector Syringes (Isovue PFS, to be used in combination with Stellant® CT Injection Systems) due to the presence of visible particles in syringes observed at the end of standard stability studies on retained samples. BDI has received no reports of adverse events or customer complaints associated with these lots. However, it should be noted that the visible particles in the lots subject to this recall have the potential to cause adverse health consequences.

ISOVUE is indicated for angiography throughout the cardiovascular system, and arterial injection of Isovue (for cerebral angiography) with particulate matter formation could cause stroke.

Isovue PFS is a single use item, administered for diagnostic imaging under medical supervision. The product is packaged in single dose Prefilled Syringe (PFS) presentations of Isovue® – 300 FLS2 and Isovue® – 370 FLS2. The affected Isovue PFS lots include the following:
