03/09/2017 BG -- bacitracin-zinc topical, 15 gram backorder

Subject: bacitracin-zinc TOPICAL ointment 15 g vs 30 g

We are having supply issues with bacitracin-zinc TOPICAL ointment. Keith was able to procure some 30 g tubes (we usually stock 15 g) so these will be loaded onto the carousels at Main and HHWC.

The 30 g tube will NOT be scan maintenanced into the Pyxis ES formulary. If you need to refill a pocket in OR areas or ED areas, you will need to scan the carousel label instead of the barcode on the product's box to access the pocket.

Hopefully, this backorder will be resolved soon so that we can revert back to stocking the 15 g tubes.
