The Department of Health in England says that Viaspan, a manufactured fluid used to preserve some donor organs when they are moved, could have been contaminated with the bacterium, Bacillus cereus since last July. Viaspan is a sterile, cold solution that is widely used for storing and transporting abdominal organs such as the liver, pancreas and bowel. Bristol Myers-Squibb, the manufacturer of Viaspan, have issued a worldwide recall of their product because they found “potential contamination on the product line” at their Austrian factory, reports The Telegraph.
