MANUFACTURER:

Alpha Therapeutic Corporation
Los Angeles, CA

REASON:

Recent stability studies have shown that the anticomplementary activity (ACA) of Venoglobulin-S, 10% may not remain stable for its labeled dating period of 24 months when stored at 25°C. Alpha Therapeutic Corporation has determined that, as a precautionary measure, lots of Venoglobulin-S, 10% labeled with a storage temperature of "at or below 25°C" should be relabeled with an expiration date of 12 months after manufacture, a change from the current 24 month dating period. Alpha Therapeutic Corporation will provide vial and carton labels to affix over the current label on any product remaining in inventory from the above-mentioned lots. There has been no increase in the incidence of adverse events reported with this product, and use of this product may continue.
