What’s the problem?

Approximately 849,000 Needles were recalled because the non-coring needles, when inserted into an implanted port, were shown to core the silicone port’s septum. Coring of port’s septum may lead to: decreased effectiveness of port, infection, necrosis, swelling, and embolization, which may result in pulmonary embolism, limb ischemia, stroke, and local extravasation of medication such as chemotherapy or other caustic material. According to the FDA, Exelint has not received any adverse event reports related to silicone foreign bodies released in patients from Exel Huber Needle coring. The agency received only reports of port leakage. However, because it may be very difficult for clinicians to associate adverse patient outcomes with the use of defective Huber needles, there may be under-reporting of events.

The recall involves Exel Huber Needles (Right angle and Straight Models) with Catalog Numbers: 26901CE, 26902CE, 26903CE, 26904CE, 26905CE, 26906CE, 26907CE, 26908CE, 26909CE, 26910CE, 26911CE, 26921CE, 26922CE, 26923CE, 26924CE, 26925CE, 26926CE, 26927CE, 26928CE, and 26929CE.

The Exel Huber Needles were distributed nationwide.
