Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance

The California Department of Health has issued an All Facilities Letter requesting immediate removal of all Povidine-Iodine Prep Pads from healthcare facilities' inventory due to a voluntary recall by H & P Industries, Inc. The recall involves all lots of the prep pads, both sterile and non-sterile, due to concerns about potential contamination with the pathogenic bacterium Elizabethkingia meningoseptica. The use of contaminated pads could lead to life-threatening infections, especially in at-risk populations such as neonates, immune-suppressed patients, and surgical patients. The bacterium is resistant to most common antibiotics, and treatment options are limited. The affected prep pads are distributed under various names and are used to disinfect prior to medical invasive intervention. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
