The pharmacy in Paradise Valley Hospital in National City, Calif., has been called an infection risk by California health inspectors, according to an article on the Kaiser Health News website.
More than 7,300 patients may have been exposed to infection from contaminated medications.
The problems were traced to the compounding pharmacy lab where inspectors found “dust, stains and foreign material” in a supposedly sterile environment.
During their investigation into the pharmacy, the inspectors found that oversight of infection control was lacking throughout the hospital.
