Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

IVX Animal Health Inc is recalling approximately 19,512 bottles of VetTek Hypertonic Saline Solution and VetTek C-M-P-K (Calcium-Magnesium-Phosphorus-Potassium-Dextrose) Injection used for animal treatment. These veterinary medications were found to have a lack of sterility assurance, meaning they may be contaminated with bacteria or other pathogens. These products were distributed to a distributor in Missouri and used for intravenous or injectable animal care. Consumers should check their supplies for these specific VetTek products and contact their veterinarian or the manufacturer for guidance and a refund.

Risk

A lack of sterility assurance means the injectable solution may contain bacteria or other harmful microbes. Because these medications are injected directly into an animal's body, non-sterile products can cause serious infections, abscesses, or systemic illness.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the label for VetTek Hypertonic Saline Solution 7.2% (1,000-mL bottles, NDC 60270-813-20) or VetTek C-M-P-K Injection (500 mL bottles, NDC 60270-026-17).
  2. Confirm the label states 'Manufactured For VetTek, Blue Springs, MO'.
  3. Immediately stop using the affected bottles and quarantine any remaining stock to ensure it is not administered to animals.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or animal health provider if any animal has recently received these injections and shows signs of illness or infection at the injection site.
  5. Contact the manufacturer, IVX Animal Health Inc, at 3915 S 48th St Terr, Saint Joseph, Missouri, 64503, for instructions on how to return the product and obtain a refund.
  6. Contact your pharmacist or distributor for further guidance on returning the unused product for a refund.
  7. For additional questions, contact the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
