Reason for Recall

Medline Bulb irrigation syringes recalled due to potential for packaging sterile barrier to be breached, and these syringes were packed inside surgical procedure packs that were subsequently terminally sterilized, so after the packs are opened, syringes should be discarded at surgical case end, and not reshelved, because the use of non-sterile bulb irrigation syringes may increase infection risk.
