Nursing team,
We are experiencing a critical shortage of COMMERCIAL AVAILABLE Dextrose 50% 50 mL vials and syringes. We have been able to produce D 50% 50 mL vials in-house to assist with the short supply of these products but since they are required to be refrigerated they will need to be dispensed from the inpatient pharmacy.
Therefore, we will need to remove the commercially available D 50% 50mL vials and syringes from virtually all AcuDose cabinets in order to reserve that supply for orange tackle box replenishment.
WE ASK THAT YOU RESERVE THE USE OF COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE DEXTROSE 50% 50 mL SYRINGES TO TRUE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND ACQUIRE THE DEXTROSE 50% 50 mL VIALS FOR THE INPATIENT PHARMACY IN ORDER TO RESERVE THE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PRODUCT FOR OTB.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
