Central Admixture Pharmacy Services recalls heparin IV bags due to lack of sterility assurance. These bags may contain contaminants that could cause infection during medical use.
Lack of assurance of sterility. Validation data for decontamination cycles is lacking.
Central Admixture Pharmacy Services has recalled certain heparin IV bags because they lack proper sterility assurance. This could lead to infections if the medication is used in medical treatments.
The heparin bags were produced without sufficient validation of their decontamination cycles. This means the bags might not be sterile, potentially introducing harmful bacteria into the bloodstream during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled heparin IV bags for medical treatments. Patients receiving IV heparin therapy are at risk if the contaminated bags are used.
Look for heparin 5000 units/500mL added to 0.9% sodium chloride, 10 units/mL, IV bags with specific lot numbers and expiration dates listed in the recall notice.
Review the lot number and expiration date on the heparin IV bag to determine if it is part of the recalled batch.
The recall indicates a lack of sterility assurance, so these specific heparin IV bags should not be used until replaced with a non-recalled product.
Contact Central Admixture Pharmacy Services at 2200 South 43rd Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85043 for guidance on safe disposal or replacement.
Check the lot number and expiration date on the bag against the list provided in the recall notice.
