Technicare Alert--now what??

Even for mucous membranes, which both of these products state shouldn't be used for?

ETA: apparently chlorhexidine can be used on mucous membranes (according to an article I found at jhu.edu), but per my facility's policies, it is not approved to be used (not sure why)

Care Tech Labs put out a statement on their website. Here's the link:

We pulled ours off the shelf today.

So does anyone have a name of another product yet? I would really appreciate some ideas!

We just started using castille soap- no germacidal properties, but it's the only replacement we were able to find. Hopefully Techni-Care will be back soon. Apparently there's nothing wrong with the actual product, it's a process that doesn't conform to FDA standards or something, so maybe it'll get resolved in the near future.

We pulled TC out of all our OR rooms yesterday. We've been instructed to use a 50/50 mix of 4.0% chlorahexidine and sterile water for burns and mucous membranes. For everything else that we used TC on we switched to ChloraPrep applicators (which is chlorahexidine and alcohol).
