Centurion Medical recalls blood draw kits with specific lot codes due to iodine levels not meeting shelf life requirements. Affected kits may not be safe for long-term use.
Convenience Kit contains a PVP Prep Pad, received by a supplier, that does not meet the iodine assay level required to support the 36 month shelf life.
Centurion Medical is recalling blood draw kits that contain a PVP prep pad with iodine levels too low to last 36 months. This could mean the kits become ineffective or unsafe over time.
The PVP prep pad in the kit has iodine levels that don't meet the required standard for a 36-month shelf life. This means the pad might not work properly after the kit's intended use period, potentially leading to ineffective blood draws.
Healthcare professionals using the blood draw kits with lot codes 2016032890, 2016091290, or 2016112890 are likely affected. The risk is low as the issue relates to shelf life rather than immediate safety.
Check the lot code on the kit's packaging. Affected kits have lot codes 2016032890, 2016091290, or 2016112890. The product is a blood draw kit with model IV4285.
Look for lot codes 2016032890, 2016091290, or 2016112890 on the kit's packaging.
The PVP prep pad in the kit has iodine levels that don't meet the required standard for a 36-month shelf life.
Check the lot code on the kit's packaging. If it matches the affected lot codes, you may want to contact Centurion Medical for further instructions.
The recall is due to potential ineffectiveness over time, not an immediate safety hazard. There is no risk of injury from normal use.
