Heparin Recall Update

The Chinese delegation visited the Baxter site in Cherry Hill last week...and there hasn't been much follow-up in the press...

It was heard that that the Chinese requested samples of the product in question in order that they can do their own testing in China...and that these samples were provided to them...

Anybody want to guess what the Chinese will report?

At an embassy news conference in Washington, Chinese officials said the problems
linked to heparin could have occurred in the United States, or that chronic
conditions in some patients led to severe reactions.


This is not the statement of a scientific team focussed on identifying the root cause of an adverse event...which is a demanding, difficult task which requires good research, scientific judgement and caution...these things need to be right...

No, this is the type of waffling statement made by organizations trying to duck out on their responsibility...they will say anything in order to shift the blame or to avoid being held accountable...exactly the sort of behavior that can not possibly result in identifying and correcting the current problem...
