The remainder of the pack components were properly sterilized and only components 29183, 52115, 82279, and 82281 were affected. Components 29183, 52115, 82279, and 82281 are manufactured by Becton, Dickinson (BD) and are labeled "ChloraPrep". ChloraPrep" applicators contain 2% w/v chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) in 70% v/v isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
