The findings included: On 11/6/12 at 11:44 AM, observation of the facility's medication storage refrigerator revealed one 1 milliliter (ml) vial (10 tests) Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD), Diluted/Aplisol, 5 TU (tuberculin units)/0.1 ml, opened, with a puncture date of 10/1/12. The Drug Facts and Comparisons book (updated monthly), 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 11/6/12 at 12:03 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #1 confirmed the puncture date (10/1/12) and stated that night shift medication nurses are responsible for checking the medication refrigerator and medication storage cabinets for expired products. She was not sure if there is a set schedule. | 2016-06-01 |
