The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)Â have issued a medical device alert for Medicina Ltd's automatically retracting safety syringes, including insulin syringes. These devices are being recalled due to 2 problems: there is a risk of needle stick injury as the devices may not automatically retract, and the shelf life stated on the devices is incorrect, compromising the sterility of the syringes. All batches of automatically retracting blue safety syringes, including insulin syringes, with product codes prefixed with RN, for example RNXX/XX and RNXX/XX INS, are being recalled.
