Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 2,052 units of Petrem (sevoflurane) inhalation anesthetic for dogs are being recalled because a specific lot failed to meet acidity and alkalinity quality standards. This medication, which is packaged in 250 mL amber glass vials, was distributed nationwide to distributors and veterinary physicians. Because the product does not meet required chemical specifications, it may not perform as intended during medical procedures. If you are a pet owner whose animal recently underwent anesthesia, you should contact your veterinarian with any concerns, although the risk level is currently considered low.

Risk

The product does not meet the Acidity/Alkalinity specifications required by the USP Monograph for Sevoflurane. This chemical imbalance means the medication does not meet the established quality and purity standards for veterinary anesthesia.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your supply for Petrem (sevoflurane), USP, 250 mL amber glass vials used for canine anesthesia.
  2. Identify if your product belongs to lot S2991K16 with an expiration date of 11/2016. This information is typically found on the vial label.
  3. If you have the affected lot, stop using the medication immediately and quarantine any remaining stock to prevent further use.
  4. Veterinarians and distributors should contact Piramal Critical Care, Inc. (dba MINRAD, INC.) at their Bethlehem, PA facility to arrange for the return and replacement of the affected product.
  5. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance, and return any unused product to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund.
