Mitomycin solution recalled

St. Louis, MO-Mobius Therapeutics LLC is conducting a recall of two lots of mitomycin for solution 0.2 mg/vial (Mitosol Kit for Ophthalmic Use). The company is taking this voluntary action because it cannot exclude the possibility that the affected lots may be non-sterile.

These two lots may contain a strain of yeast on one or more parts in the kit and should be considered non-sterile and unsafe for use. The affected lots are Mitosol Kit for Ophthalmic Use, NDC# 49771-002-01, Expiration date 08/2013, Lot numbers M098260 and M086920.

Mobius has initiated an investigation to determine the root cause and corrective and preventative actions.
