REASON:
CSL Behring LLC is alerting customers to a misalignment in the printing of the data on the folding box of Humate-P® [Antihemophilic Factor/von Willebrand Factor Complex (Human)] that might lead to confusion of the user.
On the folding box of Humate-P® the data for von Willebrand Factor Ristocetin Cofactor and Factor VIII potency, as well as expiry date and lot number are imprinted next to the preprinted text fields stating “VWF:RCo”, “FVIII”, “EXP” and “LOT”. Due to an error during packaging, the potency data was shifted downwards.

Although positioned incorrectly, the printed potency values on the folding box are correct.
Due to the incorrect positioning, the actual von Willebrand Factor (VWF:RCo) data could be mistaken as FVIII potency (FVIII) data.
As the data on all Humate-P® vial labels are positioned correctly and cannot be misinterpreted, CSL Behring asks that all users refer to the vial label for dosage calculations and follow instructions for use in the Prescribing Information.
