Reason

Medline industries, Inc. (Medline) notified Smith’s Medical of a recall affecting specific lots of Medline Aplicare branded PVP-I Prep Pads, which were packaged within Smiths Medical Portex Pro-Vent and Pulsator Arterial Blood Sampling (ABS) kits.
Medline indicated that upon review of stability testing, it was found that these PVP-I Prep Pad products did not meet the specification for %povidone iodine at the 30 month time point (the product is currently labeled with a 36 month shelf life). Their product is marketed under the Tentative Final Monograph (TFM) for OTC healthcare antiseptic drug products - June 17, 1994. Healthcare antiseptics within the range of 5% - 10% povidone iodine are generally recognized as safe and effective. All stability results confirm this product is well within this range.
