GlucoPro Insulin Syringes Voluntarily Recalled

A voluntary nationwide recall of all GlucoPro Insulin Syringes (Nipro Medical Corporation) is underway, according to a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notification to healthcare professionals. The alert notes that syringes may have needles that detach from the syringe. “If the needle becomes detached from the syringe during use, it can become stuck in the insulin vial, push back into the syringe, or remain in the skin after injection,” the FDA states. More information is available on the FDA’s MedWatch website.
