Direct Healthcare Professional Communication (DHPC) on Custodiol® cardioplegic solution/ organ preservation solution, 500 ml and 1000 ml bottles: risk of visible particles in the solution, use of a filter

Active substance:

The marketing authorisation holder Dr. Franz Köhler Chemie GmbH informs that particles were found in Custodiol bottles (500 ml and 1000 ml) during stability studies. Investigations have shown that these can form during shelf life. Users are therefore requested to use a 15 μm filter prior to application.
