Summary

Akorn Operating Company LLC is initiating a voluntary nationwide recall of various human and animal products due to bankruptcy and discontinuation of their Quality program. The company can no longer assure products meet identity, strength, quality, and purity standards. Healthcare practices should identify any Akorn products in use and coordinate with suppliers and clinical staff regarding replacements.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Clinical and supply chain staff must identify all Akorn products currently in inventory or use within the practice. Coordinate with product suppliers to obtain replacement products and verify alternative products meet clinical specifications. Notify all providers and clinical staff of the recall. Document which Akorn products were affected and when replacements were implemented. No direct billing impact, but ensure claims are not submitted using recalled product codes or NDC numbers if applicable. Contact Akorn or the FDA for complete list of recalled products if not already received.
