ReadyPrep PVP Povidone-Iodine 10% Solution Recalled for Subpotency

Agency Publication Date: September 24, 2025

Summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling 2,680 bottles of ReadyPrep PVP (Povidone-Iodine 10% Solution), a topical antiseptic used to prevent infection. The recall was initiated because the drug is subpotent, meaning it does not contain the required strength of the active ingredient to be fully effective. This nationwide recall affects 1-gallon bottles of the antiseptic manufactured in the United States.

Risk

A subpotent antiseptic may not effectively reduce the number of microorganisms on the skin, which can increase the risk of infection when used for wound care or surgical preparation.
