"AM2 PAT, Inc. is the manufacturer of both Heparin and
Normal Saline pre-filled flushes, and these products
are known by the brand names of Sierra Pre-Filled Inc
and B. Braun. The products are sold in 3ml and 5ml
sizes for Heparin and 3ml, 5ml, and 10ml sizes for Normal
Saline. One lot of Heparin IV flush syringes (1003-02,
Lot 070926H) was contaminated with Serratia
marcescens which has resulted in patient infections. Serratia
marcescens is a bacterium that can cause urinary tract
infections and even carries a significant mortality
rate if it goes undetected.'
So VALIMED now has a signature for that bacterium??
Point made? I think so. We'll see how much belief there is
in Juniors statement on otra boards.
