Health Hazard: The effects of Bcc range from no symptoms to serious infections, including bloodstream infections that may result in sepsis or death. To date, the use of Eco-Med ultrasound gels has been associated with at least 59 infections, including 48 bloodstream infections. Additional possible infections may have been associated with the use of Eco Med ultrasound gels.

Eco-Med initiated a voluntary recall on Aug. 4, 2021, to stop use of EcoGel 200 Ultrasound Gel due to risk of bacterial contamination. However, the FDA has determined that all ultrasound gels and lotions manufactured by Eco-Med are at risk for bacterial contamination.

The FDA’s determination is based on concerns that the company did not complete its investigation of the issues, the root cause and extent of bacterial contamination was not identified, and multiple products could be affected by manufacturing issues associated with the company’s ultrasound gel (such as inappropriate testing of finished product, inadequate testing of raw materials, and a lack of environmental controls).

Eco-Med has shut down all operations and is no longer manufacturing or distributing any products.
