Contaminated heparin could be associated with various clinical events including severe allergic reactions, gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea) and/or very low blood pressure, based on experiences with injectable drug products. Laboratories and clinicians should continue to follow usual quality control practices to assure that tests generated are reliable.
