Hospira announced a voluntary recall of one lot of Vancomycin HCl Injection, equivalent to 1g Vancomycin Sterile Powder because the product may have experienced temperature excursions during shipment. The customer who received the product then further distributed the product to others.
Information on the effect of uncontrolled temperatures on vancomycin is scarce and toxicological and clinical characterization of potential degradants cannot be performed. The affected products have a NDC # of 0409-6533-01, Lot 35-315-DD, and an expiration date of November 1, 2015.
