Subpotent Drug; out of specification results for heparin raw material
Subpotent Drug: Heparin raw material was found to have low potency
Lack of Assurance of Sterility: Specific lot numbers of these products have been identified for potential administration port leakage. The potential for leakage is the result of a manufacturing issue which occurred during the sealing of the closure assembly at the administration port.
Where to find this code. The NDC is printed on the pharmacy label and on the manufacturer's carton, usually as three groups of digits after “NDC”. The last group is the package size — two bottles of the same medicine can differ only in that group, and a recall may cover one but not the other.
