Item Recalls: Recommended Recalls Tab

As part of the Item Recalls module, you can also utilize KitCheck's cloud capabilities to review and add recalls that have been reported by other KitCheck hospitals. This network is found on the Recommended Recalls tab in the Item Recalls screen. The Recommended Recalls feature searches the KitCheck database and detects any items that have been recalled at other hospitals that also appear in your hospital's formulary. 

The Message Board on the Dashboard will notify you when items are recalled from the KitCheck network or when a recall is created within your hospital. 

To access the Item Recalls feature:

1. From the User Account drop-down, select Hospital Settings. 
2. Select Item Recalls.

Recommended Recalls Table

The number in the red circle in the Recommended Recalls header indicates how many items have been reported as recalled by the KitCheck network. You can view these items in the Recommended Recalls table. 

The Recommended Recalls table displays the following information:

• NDC/HRI/UPC
• Item name
• Lot Number(s)
• # of Items in Hospital
• Date Modified
• Recall Reason
• Actions

You can sort the Recommended Recalls table with all headers except for Lot Number(s) and Actions.

Recommended Recalls Actions

In addition to the item information displayed in the table, you can also take the following actions for an item by clicking on the icon in the Actions column:

• Activate - Item moves to the Added Recalls tab. The number displayed at the top of the Recommended Recalls tab will decrease. 
• Ignore - Item moves to the Ignored Recalls tab. The number displayed at the top of the Recommended Recalls tab will decrease.
