Uh-oh.

Baxter recalls 9 lots of heparin sodium injection.

I note this as significant for the bleeding disorders community because heparin sodium is used to flush IV or port lines or to prevent unwanted clots in those same line.

We used a low-dose heparin sodium solution (just enough to fill the port reservoir and catheter) as part of our port infusion routine in the year and a half Jack had a port.

A list of the batches and lots are here.
