Healthcare facilities using Cardinal Health Webcol Large Alcohol Prep Pads must take immediate action to protect patients. First, verify lot numbers and product origins of all convenience kits currently in inventory. Cross-reference batches with FDA alert documentation to identify potentially affected supplies.

Third, procure and replace affected pads with verified sterile alternatives from reliable suppliers, ensuring documentation of replacement for compliance purposes.

Facility managers should communicate this alert to clinical staff, procurement teams, and quality assurance departments. Timely action protects both patient safety and institutional compliance with FDA regulatory requirements. Read the full article on GMJ Newsroom.
