Lot number documentation

[sascrni]

Several questions regarding lot numbers of PICC lines.

1--Are you documenting these in patient records?

2--Do you have a method to retrieve the numbers in the event of a recall ?(god forbid)  So you know which patients are affected? 

3--MANUFACTURERS--If I had just the lot number of a PICC, could you tell me the type and size etc of the catheter?

 

Thanks in advance!
