KCl 500 mEq/250 mL in BBraun EXCEL bags

Hi all,

We've just needed to get concentrated potassium chloride in the new EXCEL bag presentation rather than the glass vials. We got the NAN alert a couple months ago, but the supply change took us a bit by surprise.

Has anyone taken any extra steps to ensure the bags aren't inadvertently distributed outside of pharmacy, given that they look like every other BBraun product?

Thank you,
Kara Thornton
