LAKE FOREST, Illinois – ICU Medical, Inc. is voluntarily recalling one lot each of POTASSIUM CHLORIDE Inj. bags with overwrap labels 10mEq, packaged in cases of POTASSIUM CHLORIDE Inj. 20 mEq, to the user level. ICU medical has received a customer complaint which states that bags of POTASSIUM CHLORIDE Inj. 20 mEq have incorrect overwrap labels which state POTASSIUM CHLORIDE Inj. 10 mEq.

ICU Medical has identified a potential for some of the product overwraps in one lot being mislabeled as 10 mEq (instead of 20 mEq that is contained in the I.V. Bag) of POTASSIUM CHLORIDE due to a manufacturing issue. The 20 mEq, correctly printed on the labeling affixed to the bag, is not visible or not easily visible without manipulation when the 10 mEq overwrap is in place.
