1/9/25 Fluid shortages

January 9, 2025

Good Morning,

 

I just wanted to pass along some fluids with zero stock at logistics.
PSP is either out of stock or very low on stock of these items as well:

 

489000 D5NS 1000 mL bags  zero on hand at logistics- no stock in PSP.
487900 D10 1000 mL bags zero on hand at logistics- no stock in PSP. We do have D10W 500 mL bags in stock right now.
489235 1/2 NS with 20 mEq KCl 1000 mL   zero on hand at logistics- 6 bags remaining in PSP.
Sincerely,
Eric Franks, Pharm.D., BCSCP
