Class I · High risk
Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0012 For Manufacturing
Microbial contamination of Non-Sterile Product; detection of the gram-negative bacillus Serratia marcescens in certain API batches
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.
