Medline recalls 1,000 alcohol prep pads due to subpotent drug content. Learn what this means for safety and how to check your product.
Subpotent Drug
Medline is recalling 1,000 alcohol prep pads because they contain less than the required amount of isopropyl alcohol. This could lead to ineffective disinfection, potentially increasing infection risk during medical procedures.
The pads contain less than the required 70% isopropyl alcohol. This means they may not disinfect surfaces effectively, increasing the risk of infections during medical procedures.
Healthcare workers using these pads for disinfection are most at risk. Patients and others who rely on these pads for cleaning may also be affected.
Check for the product name 'Alcohol Prep Pads (2-Ply Pad, 70% Isopropyl Alcohol)' on the packaging. Look for the lot number 61224040057 or the NDC code 55329-811-30.
