Heparin Recall, 10-27-10

Steve Duff of Precision BioLogic alerts us to a new recall of unfractionated heparin posted by the US FDA on October 27, 2010. The supplier, Scientific Protein Laboratories, in testing retained crude heparin lots revealed traces of oversulfated chondroitin sulfate. This is the same problem that created a public health risk in 2008. Select US FDA Heparin Recall Notice for the details. Geo.
