Description

Sepp, Compound Benzoin Tincture Packaged and Tincture 3,000 Bulk. Product Usage: Preoperative skin product

Reason

An internal review of CareFusion's labeling for preoperative skin prep product codes was recently conducted. The labeling of the product codes identified above state that the contents of the package are sterile and does not clarify that this sterility claim is only applicable to the applicator. The antiseptic solution that is applied to the skin is a cutaneous disinfectant, and is not sterilized.
