  • Causa
    During investigation into a complaint of discoloured duraprep solution 3m determined that the product solution had unintended exposure to the sterilant during package sterilization. this type of exposure would only be possible if the glass ampule holding the solution is compromised with a crack. direct exposure to the sterilant causes a color change from dark brown to yellow/clear and renders the product unfit for use given formation of byproducts with the potential for sensitization irritation and acute dermal toxicity.
