The Department of Health (DH) today (25 January) endorsed a licensed drug wholesaler, Trackcircle.com Limited (Trackcircle), to recall one batch of Adrenalin Chloride Injection 1:1000 30mg/30ml (batch number: F7J025) from the market because of a potential quality issue.
The DH received notification from Trackcircle that the manufacturer of the product in Italy is recalling one batch (batch number: F7J025) of the product because the samples failed the assay test during the ongoing stability study. Trackcircle recalls the affected batch as a precautionary measure. DH investigation is continuing.
The above product, containing adrenaline chloride , is not a registered pharmaceutical product in Hong Kong but was imported for the treatment of particular patients by registered medical practitioners. According to Trackcircle, 2,290 bottles of the affected batch have been supplied to Hospital Authority. |
