NATURE OF CHARGE : Adulteration, Section 501 (b), the article purported to be
and was represented as "Anticoagulant. Acid Citrate Dextrose," a drug the
name of which is recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia, and its
quality fell below the official standard since it was pyrogenic and contami-
nated with undissolved material.
Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the label statement "This product is * * *
non-pyrogenic" was false and misleading as applied to this article, which
contained pyrogen.
DISPOSITION : November 8, 1948. Default decree of condemnation. The prod-
uct was ordered delivered to the Food and Drug Administration, for official
purposes.
