Abbott Animal Health: Isoflo (Isoflurane) Recalled for Canadian Labeling Error

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Abbott Animal Health is recalling 5,898 cases (totaling 35,388 bottles) of Isoflo (isoflurane, USP), an inhalation anesthetic used for horses and dogs. This voluntary recall was initiated because bottles with Canadian labeling were accidentally shipped to customers in the United States. While the medication itself is the correct formulation, the labels may contain regulatory and usage information specific to Canada rather than the United States.

Risk

The risk level is considered low because the product contains the correct anesthetic medication; however, incorrect labeling can lead to confusion regarding administration instructions or regulatory compliance for U.S. veterinary practitioners.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your veterinary supply for 250 mL amber bottles of Isoflo (isoflurane, USP) used for horses and dogs.
  2. Verify the product identifying information: look for Product Code 5260-13-05 and Lot number 24-002E with an expiration date of 8/23/14.
  3. Identify if the label contains Canadian-specific information or formatting instead of standard U.S. FDA labeling.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding the use of this specific lot.
  5. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund and contact Abbott Animal Health at 100 Abbott Park Rd, AP6C-5, Abbott Park, Illinois, 60064-6083 for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions or to report issues, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at 240-402-7002.
