Medline Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 67,104 bottles of PVP Scrub Solution, Povidone Iodine, 7.5%. This recall was initiated because the product may not maintain the required iodine levels through its labeled expiration date, making it subpotent. While no specific injuries or incidents have been reported, using a surgical scrub with insufficient active ingredients may reduce its effectiveness during use. This product was distributed nationwide across the United States and in Curacao.
The iodine level in the scrub is below the required standards, which means the solution may not effectively kill bacteria or germs as intended. This subpotency could increase the risk of infection if used for skin preparation or surgical scrubbing.
