1043 units of insulin pens and cartridges shipped to 80 locations across Canada have been recalled by Health Canada.
The affected units may have been frozen during shipping, possibly reducing their effectiveness in managing elevated blood sugar, wrote the health agency on Sept. 25.
Not all units per lot are being recalled. Health Canada has advised that customers should not assume that their product is necessarily affected if the lot number appears in this list.
Health Canada is asking those with units from the affected lots to contact the pharmacy, hospital or clinic where they obtained the product to determine if their individual unit is affected.
Sanofi-Aventis Canada Inc., the manufacturer, has notified the pharmacies, hospitals and clinics impacted by this recall.
