Medline Industries, LP has recalled approximately 8,309,870 Medline and CURAD brand Alcohol Prep Pads because they are subpotent. These sterile 2-ply pads, intended for single-use skin preparation before injections or minor procedures, may not contain the required concentration of alcohol to effectively disinfect the skin. Consumers should stop using these specific lots and contact a healthcare provider if they have concerns about potential infections.
Subpotent alcohol pads may fail to properly kill germs on the skin, which can lead to localized or systemic infections when the skin is subsequently punctured for an injection or medical procedure.
