Atrium Initiates Voluntary Recall Action Regarding HYDRAGLIDE™ Brand Heparin-Coated Thoracic Drainage Catheters used for Autotransfusion during Cardio
Atrium Medical Corporation today (May 15, 2008) announced that it is initiating a voluntary and precautionary recall of selected lots of HYDRAGLIDE™ Brand Heparin-Coated Thoracic Drainage Catheters. Limited lots of Atrium heparin-coated Hydraglide Thoracic Catheters were manufactured with heparin found to have been contaminated with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS). The patient risk associated with the presence of OSCS in heparin-coated medical devices is not known at this time. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received reports of serious injury and death in patients who have been administered injectable heparin products containing high levels of OSCS. While Atrium’s HYDRAGLIDE Catheters do not contain high levels of heparin, there still exists a potential exposure of OSCS to the patient.
Customers with affected lots are advised to immediately discontinue use of these devices and obtain replacement catheters from Atrium. Atrium will be working with our customers to replace the affected product as soon as possible. If a non-elective procedure requires use of this catheter, we recommend that you do not use the catheter with either a cell saver autotransfusion system or direct autotransfusion chest drainage collection system for cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Atrium has not received reports of any OSCS-related adverse events arising from any use of their Hydraglide Thoracic Catheters. This voluntary recall is being initiated as a precaution to minimize any future potential risk.
The above Customer Notification actions are being taken with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Physicians and hospital personnel with product related questions should call the company at 1-800-5-ATRIUM, Monday –Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.

Sweetwater Valley Farm, Inc. Recalls Tennessee Aged Black Pepper Cheese
Sweetwater Valley Farm, Inc. of Philadelphia, TN is recalling Tennessee Aged Black Pepper Cheese because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Tennessee Aged Black Pepper Cheese, Lot Number 616-361 was distributed in 5, 7, and 10 ounce bars through our retail store in Philadelphia, TN and a Winery in Portland, TN.
Less than 100 pounds was distributed.
This product was distributed between December 27, 2007 and May 12, 2008.
No illnesses have been reported.
The recall was the result of a routine sampling program by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture which revealed that the finished product contained the bacteria. The company has ceased the distribution of this lot as the company continues their investigation as to what caused the problem.
Consumers who have purchased lot number 616-361 of this product are urged bring it to the store for replacement or refund or ship it back to the store for replacement or refund. Contact the company’s consumer affairs department at 1-877-862-4332 for further information.

Manufacturer Removes Remaining Stocks of Trasylol
Background: On Nov. 5, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corp. agreed to an FDA-requested marketing suspension of Trasylol, a drug used to control bleeding during heart surgery. At that time, preliminary results from a Canadian study suggested an increased risk for death compared to two other drugs used to control bleeding.
Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. has notified the FDA that the company will begin removing the remaining Trasylol stock from the U.S. market, most of which is in warehouses and hospital or physician’s stock. The FDA will work with Bayer to ensure a smooth and complete process.
Under a limited use agreement, access to Trasylol is limited to investigational use of the drug according to the procedures described in a special treatment protocol. The protocol allows treatment for certain patients who are at increased risk of blood loss and transfusions during coronary artery bypass graft surgery and who have no acceptable alternative therapy. Physicians using Trasylol in this situation must also verify that the benefits of the drug clearly outweigh the risks for their patients.
FDA limits access to certain drugs to patients with serious or immediately life-threatening disease or conditions who lack other therapeutic options and may benefit from such therapies. This type of access requires the submission of a protocol, which is reviewed and approved by the agency. Bayer has agreed to provide Trasylol through this mechanism for the limited use described above.
Trasylol is an antifibrinolytic drug approved to reduce blood loss during surgery and the need for blood transfusion in certain patient undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass in the course of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Antifibrinolyitc drugs help slow the breakdown of blood clots and subsequent excessive bleeding.
Results from a randomized Canadian study that prompted last November’s marketing suspension of Trasylol are expected to be published this week. The data contained in this article suggest that Trasylol appears to increase the risk for death compared to two other antifibrinolytic drugs used in the study.
The findings from this randomized study are similar to those from an observational study that was discussed at a September 2007 FDA advisory committee meeting. Based upon the data available at the time, the advisory committee recommended continued marketing of Trasylol.
However, FDA requested the marketing suspension in the interest of patient safety based on the serious nature of the outcomes suggested in the preliminary data. The committee also advised that a large, randomized clinical study was needed to further assess Trasylol’s safety compared to other drugs. This recently published Canadian study helps address this need for additional information.
The FDA has not yet received full study data from the study’s researchers at the Ottawa Health Research Institute but supports Bayer’s decision to completely remove Trasylol from regular use in the U.S. market. FDA is also reviewing the available Canadian study data to reassess the currently active special treatment protocol that provides access to Trasylol.
FDA oversight requires comprehensive and thorough studies of a drug not only during the pre-market review phase but throughout the drug’s life cycle. As studies and data on Trasylol emerged over the years, FDA actions included labeling changes, safety communications to physicians and other health care professionals, public discussion and review of study data at two Advisory Committee meetings, as well as close scrutiny of the ongoing studies.
The agency will consider a variety of study designs to support the review process for future antifibrinolytics, and will incorporate into these considerations information from the recently published Canadian study. FDA will continue to publicly disseminate safety information.

Medtronic Initiates Voluntary Field Actions for Selected Heparin-Coated Products Used During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Medtronic, Inc. today (May 7, 2008) announced that it is initiating a voluntary and precautionary recall of selected products featuring the Carmeda BioActive surface. The affected devices are disposable products used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for heart surgeries. Affected products include blood oxygenators, reservoirs, pumps, cannulae, and tubing packs. This action is being taken subsequent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's April 8, 2008 recommendation to device manufacturers that heparin supplies be checked with newly-developed tests, and that affected products be evaluated for possible field corrective action.
Limited lots of Carmeda-coated products were manufactured with heparin found to have been contaminated with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS). The patient risk associated with the presence of OSCS in heparin-coated medical devices is not known at this time. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received reports of serious injury and death in patients who have been administered injectable heparin products containing high levels of OSCS.
Medtronic has not received reports of any OSCS-related adverse events arising from the use of Carmeda CPB products. It is unclear, however, if exposure to Carmeda-coated medical devices, made with comparatively small amounts of heparin, could cause adverse events similar to those observed with injectable heparin formulations. As a result, Medtronic has initiated a precautionary recall of affected Carmeda products.
In a separate action, Medtronic is advising customers that selected lots of Trillium-coated products were also manufactured with heparin containing OSCS. Trillium is another biosurface used on CPB products. The amount of heparin on the product is significantly lower than that contained on the Carmeda product. Medtronic's ultimate goal is to remove contaminated products from the market. However, based on the current data, the benefit of using the affected products outweighs any potential risk to patients. Since the maximum possible patient exposure to heparin from Trillium is extremely low, customers can continue to use the affected Trillium products until a replacement is available.
The above actions are being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Patients with questions should talk to their physician. Physicians or Pefusionists with medical questions related to Medtronic therapies should contact Medtronic at 1-800-638 0218, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CDT

As a result of this recall, Cardinal Health is initiating a voluntary recall of the same alcohol-free mouthwash. The FDA has been apprised of the action.

B. cepacia is a known cause of infections in hospitalized patients. B. cepacia bacteria are often resistant to common antibiotics. The effects of B. cepacia on people vary widely, ranging from no symptoms at all, to serious respiratory infections, especially in patients with CF.
The recall includes the following products:
Description | Reorder Number |
|---|---|
Alcohol-Free Mouthwash, Cardinal Health, 4 oz. | AG-210 |
Product lot number 26228 is affected. Affected product can be identified by checking the lot code stamped on the Cardinal Health label. The Lot number is located on the side of the bottle.
The mouthwash may also be found in certain Personal Hygiene Hospital Admission Kits. If you received mouthwash labeled for Cardinal Health from your healthcare provider, please check to see if the reorder number on the label matches the recalled reorder numbers listed above, then check to see if the lot number matches the recalled lot number.
