Company announcement
Neogen Corporation is recalling Neogen®Vet HYCOAT® Hyaluronate Sodium Sterile Solution due to microbial contamination.
The product was distributed nationwide to animal health distributors and veterinarians.
Adverse events were reported in horses following intraarticular injections.
Risk:
This product is labeled as a sterile solution, but due to microbial contamination of certain lots, the recalled lots should no longer be considered sterile. Vials that contain a microbial contaminant potentially result in infection in the animal. The risk is particularly acute when used as an intraarticular injection (which is inconsistent with its labeled, intended use). There also is risk if used according to the label as a topical wound management system in surgical wounds, burns, ulcers, and autograft procedures. To date, Neogen has not received reports of adverse events when used in a manner consistent with the labeled use.
Impacted states: Nationwide
