RE: Lot number documentation

Title: Message

we document lot number on our insertion procedure notes and that gets transferred into our data base.  Because it's in the data base, we would be able to retrieve the numbers by running a report.

Subject: Lot number documentation

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!
