| Lot, code or applicability | FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. (Feb. 15, 2025) – BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) today announced the voluntary recall of one lot of ChloraPrep™ Clear 1 mL Applicators due to fungal contamination under certain environmental conditions allowing the growth of Aspergillus penicillioides.; The Aspergillus penicillioides within the packaging can contaminate the surface of the applicator and/or gloved hands of the health care professional and then consequently the sterile field. Since the applicator is used for site preparation prior to an invasive procedure, a contaminated applicator can result in direct inoculation of the fungus into tissues. This lot was distributed globally beginning in September 2023. To date, there have been no reported customer complaints or adverse events associated with this issue.; The affected lot (3200240) can be identified by locating the above referenced catalog and lot number on the lidding of the product package and the side of the individual shelf box and shipper box. Please immediately discontinue use of the affected lot. Check all inventory locations within your facility and destroy all affected units in accordance with your facility’s process. If destruction is not immediately possible at your facility, then product should be quarantined until disposal.; Affected Product NDC \| Product Name \| Catalog (REF) Number \| Lot Number \| Expiry Date \| Product Package Size; 54365-400-31 \| BD ChloraPrep™ Clear - 1 mL Applicator \| 930480 \| 3200240 \| 6/30/2026 \| 60 Applicators per Inner Carton 4 Inner Cartons per Case |
