Why it matters for dental

Dental practices that stock or administer morphine sulfate for in-office sedation or post-op pain must immediately quarantine lot 651112, because a mis-labeled syringe could deliver the wrong drug or dose, exposing the dentist to liability and licensing risk.

Key points

  • Lot 651112 of Fresenius Kabi Simplist® Morphine Sulfate 2 mg/1 mL (NDC 63323-0412-00) is under voluntary recall for a label mix-up that could result in the wrong medication in the syringe.
  • Recalled units bear a MicroVault label reading "Morphine 2 mg/1 mL" but may contain a different prefilled syringe product.
  • Dentists, oral surgeons, and staff who purchase controlled-substance prefilled syringes should check inventory immediately and quarantine any lot 651112 units.
  • Product should not be administered; contact Fresenius Kabi at 1-800-551-7176 for return instructions and replacement.
