We're revisiting ISMP's recommendations on topical thrombin. What precautions has your facility put in place to prevent IV administration? Does your pharmacy prepare doses?

Hello!

As you are likely aware, there have been safety concerns reported with the packaging of Recothrom [as it comes in a box containing supplies for medication preparation including a 5-mL sterile empty syringe (luer-tip)]. (reference links below)

Wondering if you might be able to speak to the process around dispensing, preparation and use of recombinant topical thrombin (Recothrom) in your organizations.
