H & P Industries Povidone Iodine Swabsticks, Prep Solutions, Scrub Solutions, and Prep Gel: Recall - Inadequate Microbial Testing

Patient dies days before Triad deposition A 68-year-old Alabama woman, Ruby Hutcheson of East Brewton, died on Aug. 20, days before she was scheduled to give a deposition in a lawsuit claiming that contaminated Triad wipes lead to her life-threatening infections. Hutcheson, who suffered from osteoporosis, claimed that she developed severe sores and lesions on her abdomen after injection sites became infected following use of the Triad products. The lesions required multiple surgeries. By JoNel Aleccia

Multiple brands affected!


AUDIENCE: Pharmacy, Consumer, Risk Manager

ISSUE: H & P Industries and FDA notified health professionals and the public of a recall of all lots (lots beginning with 8J-8M, 9A-9M, 0A-0M, 1A-1C) of Povidone Iodine Swabsticks, Prep Solutions, Scrub Solutions, and Prep Gel. H & P Industries, Inc. manufactured these Povidone Iodine products without having in place a system for microbial testing at the time of release, without having a system for testing of incoming components, and without having procedures designed and established to prevent objectionable microorganisms in these drug products. Patients undergoing medical and surgical procedures, including those who are immunocompromised, have a high risk of infection from antiseptic surgical preparations that have been prepared, packaged, or held under insanitary conditions. This recall has been initiated at the request of FDA.

BACKGROUND: Povidone Iodine Swabsticks, Povidone Iodine Prep Solutions, Povidone Iodine Scrub Solutions, and Povidone Iodine Prep Gel are labeled as an antiseptic for preparation of the skin prior to surgery, and are used to prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns. The Povidone Iodine Scrub solutions are labeled also for use as a surgical hand scrub for health care professionals. The Povidone Iodine products were distributed nationwide to healthcare customers. The swabsticks are packaged in individual packets of 1 or 3 swabs and the Prep Solution, Scrub Solution and Prep Gel are sold in bottles.

RECOMMENDATION: Specific customers distributing the product and selling it at the wholesale and hospital level are being notified by e-mail with instructions on how to return the product. Consumers that have any of these types of products in their possession should not use the product and should return it to the place it was purchased.

Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
  • Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm
  • Download form or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178

FDA Approves Firazyr to Treat Acute Attacks of Hereditary Angioedema


FDA NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: August 25, 2011
Media Inquiries: Morgan Liscinsky, 301-796-0397, morgan.liscinsky@fda.hhs.gov
Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA

Understanding Hereditary Angioedema: A Mysterious Out-Of-Control Immune Response

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Firazyr (icatibant) Injection for the treatment of acute attacks of a rare condition called hereditary angioedema (HAE) in people ages 18 years and older.

HAE is caused by low levels or the improper function of a protein called C1 inhibitor, which is involved in regulating how certain immune system and blood clotting pathways function. There is usually a family history of the condition. Fewer than 30,000 people in the United States have HAE.
People with HAE can develop rapid swelling of the hands, feet, limbs, face, intestinal tract, voice box, or windpipe, which may result in disfigurement, disability, or death. Swelling of the digestive tract may cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, while airway swelling puts patients at risk of suffocation.
“Firazyr provides a new option to treat acute attacks of HAE and because it can be self-administered through an injection in the abdominal area, patients can treat themselves upon recognition of an HAE attack,” said Curtis Rosebraugh, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Office of Drug Evaluation II in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The safety and efficacy of Firazyr was demonstrated in three controlled clinical trials, with open-label extension periods, in which 225 patients received 1,076 doses of 30 mg Firazyr. The median time for patients treated with Firazyr to report onset of symptom relief was two hours compared with almost 20 hours with placebo.
Firazyr is the third drug approved in the United States to treat HAE attacks. In October 2009 the FDA approved Berinert to treat facial and abdominal attacks of HAE, and Kalbitor was approved in December 2009 to treat acute attacks of HAE in patients ages 16 years and older.
The FDA approved Firazyr with patient counseling information that includes injection instructions. The most common side effects reported by those using Firazyr were injection site reactions, fever, increased liver enzymes, dizziness, and rash.

Firazyr is marketed by Shire Human Genetic Therapies Inc. of Cambridge, Mass.

USDA Offers Food Safety Tips In Advance of Hurricane Irene

Katrina: The Ruin and Recovery of New Orleans

Following is a press release from the USDA.  I include it here, not because it has anything to do with product recalls, but because it concerns a matter near and dear to my heart.  Hurricane preparedness.  Among other things, you absolutely must be careful of the food and water you consume in dire times like hurricane emergencies.  And you must know how to keep your food in a way that it will remain wholesome for you to consume!  It really would be better to eat no food than to make yourself ill from a food-bourne illness during the middle of a hurricane crisis!

For more on Emergency Preparedness, read my award winning article at Suite101: 

Emergency Disaster Preparedness and Elder Care: Disaster Planning for Older Adults and Their Families | Suite101.com



USDA Offers Food Safety Tips in Advance of Hurricane Irene
WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 24, 2011 -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing recommendations for residents in states that might be affected by Hurricane Irene to minimize the potential for foodborne illnesses in the event of power outages, flooding, and other problems that could be associated with the storm.
"Hurricanes not only pose dangers to people's physical safety, but the resulting power outages and other effects of hurricanes also can affect the safety of the food people may rely upon after hurricanes strike," said FSIS Administrator Al Almanza. "The American public should be aware of things they can do to protect the safety of their food before and after natural events."
Steps to follow to prepare for a possible weather emergency:
  • Keep an appliance thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer. An appliance thermometer will indicate the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer in case of a power outage and help determine the safety of the food.
  • Make sure the freezer is at 0°F or below and the refrigerator is at 40°F or below.
  • Freeze containers of water for ice to help keep food cold in the freezer, refrigerator or coolers after the power is out.
  • Freeze refrigerated items such as leftovers, milk and fresh meat and poultry that you may not need immediately — this helps keep them at a safe temperature longer.
  • Plan ahead and know where dry ice and block ice can be purchased.
  • Have coolers on hand to keep refrigerator food cold if the power will be out for more than 4 hours. Purchase or make ice and store in the freezer for use in the refrigerator or in a cooler. Freeze gel packs ahead of time for use in coolers.
  • Group food together in the freezer — this helps the food stay cold longer.
  • Store food on shelves that will be safely out of the way of contaminated water in case of flooding.
Steps to follow after the weather emergency:
  • Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature.
  • The refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) and the door remains closed.
  • Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deli items after 4 hours without power.
  • Food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40°F or below when checked with a food thermometer.
  • Never taste a food to determine its safety!
  • Obtain dry or block ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as cold as possible if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full freezer for 2 days.
  • If the power has been out for several days, check the temperature of the freezer with an appliance thermometer. If the appliance thermometer reads 40°F or below, the food is safe to refreeze.
  • If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. If the food still contains ice crystals, the food is safe.
  • Discard any food that is not in a waterproof container if there is any chance that it has come into contact with flood water. Discard wooden cutting boards, plastic utensils, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers.
  • Thoroughly wash all metal pans, ceramic dishes and utensils that came in contact with flood water with hot soapy water and sanitize by boiling them in clean water or by immersing them for 15 minutes in a solution of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water.
  • Undamaged, commercially prepared foods in all-metal cans and retort pouches (for example, flexible, shelf-stable juice or seafood pouches) can be saved. Follow the Steps to Salvage All-Metal Cans and Retort Pouches in the publication "Keeping Food Safe During an Emergency" at: www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Keeping_Food_Safe_During_an_Emergency/index.asp
  • Use bottled water that has not been exposed to flood waters. If bottled water is not available, tap water can be boiled for safety.
When in Doubt, Throw it Out!
An FSIS Public Service Announcement (PSA), available in 30- and 60-second versions, illustrates practical food safety recommendations for handling and consuming foods stored in refrigerators and freezers during and after a power outage. Consumers are encouraged to view the PSA at: www.fsis.usda.gov/news/Food_Safety_PSA .
News organizations and power companies can obtain hard copy (Beta and DVD) versions of the PSA by contacting the Food Safety Education Staff in FSIS' Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Education by calling (301) 344-4757.
FSIS's YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/USDAFoodSafety , provides a video in English and Spanish titled "Food Safety During Power Outages." The channel also includes the SignFSIS video in American Sign Language titled "Food Safety During a Power Outage." Food Safety at Home podcasts regarding food safety during severe weather, power outages, and flooding are available on the FSIS website in English and Spanish at www.fsis.usda.gov/News_&_Events/Food_Safety_at_Home_Podcasts/index.asp .
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at www.AskKaren.gov . "Ask Karen" live chat services are available Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.

Next to be Recalled? - Testosterone Hormone Replacement Therapy

Have you noticed all of the recent advertisments promoting drugs for a condition known as "Low T" or Low Testosterone?  What are the risks of using these drugs?  Are they safe?  Are they even effective?  Can they slow the effects of aging?

Well the FDA has approved these hormone replacement drugs in the form of patches, gels and injections, but the National Institute of Health sees things very differently!

Ground Beef Recalled - USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service Report


<>Are you dying for a hamburger?  Maybe you are and you just don't realize it yet...<><>

Adam Tarr

WASHINGTON, August 19, 2011 - Vantage Foods, a Lenoir, N.C. establishment is recalling approximately 1,642 pounds of ground beef products that may contain foreign material, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The product subject to recall is:
  • 2-pound trays of LOWE’S FOODS fresh ground beef 93/7with establishment number "EST. 34176" inside the USDA mark of inspection and a sell by date of 8/29/11 on the label.

The products were produced on Aug. 15, 2011 and were distributed to retail outlets in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

The problem was discovered by a consumer who found pieces of blue plastic in the product and returned it to their retail establishment. The retail establishment then notified Vantage Foods. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.

Media with questions should contact Leonal Kilgore, President of Vantage Foods, at (316) 721-7998. Consumers with questions should contact John Orgain, spokesperson for Lowe’s Foods, at (828) 725-4444.

Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov.

The FDA begins a pilot program seeking to expedite notifications of human drug product recalls to the public. The agency will modify the drug product section of the Enforcement Report17, published every Wednesday, to include actions that have been determined to be recalls, but that remain in the process of being classified as a Class I, II, or III action. Such recalls will be listed under the heading, “Recalls Pending Classification: DRUGS.” They will be reposted with their classification once that determination has been made. Send comments or suggestions to CDERRecallPilot@fda.hhs.gov.

PRODUCT
AirLife Nebulizer Heater, Catalog Code 2M8021 The AirLife Nebulizer Heater is part of the heated nebulizer system intended to provide warm bland aerosol therapy to respiratory patients. The system is used in conjunction with a standard oxygen flowmeter, which by providing pressurized oxygen powers the nebulizer creating ultra-fine particles in the therapeutic aerosol. The heater warms the solution before it reaches the aerosol jet in the nebulizer and heats the dilution air before it is entrained into the aerosol stream. An aluminum heat exchanger on the nebulizer cap transfers the thermal energy to a nebulizer solution bottle warming the solution prior to aerosolizing. Recall # Z-3016-2011

RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER
Recalling Firm: Carefusion 207, Inc., Palm Springs, CA, by letter dated July 15, 2011.
Manufacturer: Baxter Healthcare Corp., Largo, FL. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON
the Nebulizer Heater can, over time, develop a failure mode that results in an internal electrical short. The short can result in smoke and sparks being emitted from the device. In the presence of oxygen enriched environments and a fuel source, this failure represents a potential risk of flame. CareFusion is voluntarily recalling the affected devices.
