The findings included: On 4/18/12 at 11:49 AM, observation of the Unit 3 Medication Room refrigerator revealed one 5 milliliter (ml) vial (50 tests) Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD), (Mantoux), Tubersol, opened with a puncture date of 3/10/12. The Drug Facts and Comparisons book, page 2001, states (in reference to Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative): Discard vials in use for more than 30 days because of possible oxidation and degradation that may affect potency. During an interview on 4/18/12 at 11:57 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #5 confirmed the puncture date (3/10/12) and stated that a punctured vial of PPD should not be kept longer than 30 days --- then toss it.	2016-06-01
