Highly Concentrated Potassium Chloride Injection, 10 mEq per 100 mL, by Baxter, Recalled: AttorneyOne Monitors and Keeps Consumers Informed
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 25, 2014 -- AttorneyOne.com, a recognized authority on law, update the website daily regarding all the latest information from the FDA on Highly Concentrated Potassium Chloride Injection.
The US FDA announced on November 21, that one lot of Highly Concentrated Potassium Chloride Injection, 10 mEq per 100 mL by Baxter International Inc., is recalled due to mislabeled overpouch. Potassium Chloride is administered intravenously and it is used to treat potassium deficiency.
The reason for the recall is based on a complaint of mislabeling. Some containers of Product Code 2B0826, Highly Concentrated Potassium Chloride Injection, 10 mEq per 100 mL, Lot Number P319160, Exp. 06/30/2015, NDC 0338-0709-48 were incorrectly labeled on the overpouch as Highly Concentrated Potassium Chloride Injection, 20 mEq per 100 mL.
Use of the mislabeled overpouch may result in the administration of a dose lower than intended. In case of patients prone to severe electrolyte imbalance this may lead to serious, life-threatening, adverse consequences.
