Sentara Infusion Services recalls specific TPN solutions due to lack of sterility assurance. These products 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.
TPN solutions are critical medications for patients who cannot eat normally. Lack of sterility assurance means the products could become contaminated with bacteria, leading to serious infections.
Patients receiving TPN therapy through Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services in Chesapeake, VA are most at risk. The recall applies to specific product formulations sold between December 24-31, 2022.
Check for the product names listed in the recall, which include specific TPN formulations with varying amounts of amino acids, dextrose, and lipids. The products were sold with a beyond use date of December 24-31, 2022.
