Reason | CSL Behring is initiating a voluntarily recall of two lots of its hemophilia A drug Helixate FS containing active ingredient manufactured before November 2015. As part of the routine testing, stability data indicate a decline in potency outside of the pre-specified acceptable range for these lots, which is why the recall is being conducted. The material is packaged in 5mL glass vials and comes in a shelf carton with Sterile Water for Injection, USP, filter transfer set and package insert. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Action | Patients: It is important to note that based on all currently available and reviewed data that no safety observations or signals have been detected by drug safety and the current health risk assessment does not indicate an appreciable risk for patients for the affected lots. Pharmacy: Immediately quarantine inventory of the affected product under your direct control and contact your supplier to arrange for the return of the identified product. |
