Sentara recalls specific TPN products due to lack of sterility assurance. These IV solutions may cause infections if used without proper sterility.
Lack of sterility assurance
Sentara Infusion Services has recalled several types of TPN (total parenteral nutrition) products because they lack sterility assurance. This means the products could cause infections if used without proper sterilization procedures.
TPN products are sterile solutions given intravenously to patients who cannot eat. The lack of sterility assurance means the products could become contaminated, leading to infections.
Patients receiving TPN therapy through Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services in the U.S. are affected. Those using these products for medical treatment are most at risk.
Check for the product names listed in the recall: TPN (a) 100GM/AA, 285GM/DEX, (b)55GM/LIP 2300ML, (c)55GM/AA 285GM/DEX 50GM/LIP1800ML, (d)TPN AA:100GM DEX:250GM, or (e) 55GM DEX:285GM 1800ML. These products were sold by Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services in Chesapeake, VA.
