    GlucoPro Insulin Syringes: Recall
    Audience: Pharmacists, diabetes
    healthcare professionals, consumers

    Nipro Medical Corporation
    and FDA notified healthcare professionals of a voluntary nationwide
    recall of all GlucoPro Insulin Syringes. These syringes may have
    needles that detach from the syringe. If the needle becomes detached
    from the syringe during use, it can become stuck in the insulin
    vial, push back into the syringe, or remain in the skin after
    injection. This recall includes all product codes and lot numbers
    with expiration dates before 2011-11 (November 1, 2011). Product was
    distributed nationwide, including Puerto Rico. Consumers who have
    GlucoPro Insulin Syringes should stop using and return them to point
    of sale for reimbursement.
