Mallinckrodt Ultra-TechneKow(R) DTE Generators Recalled
ST. LOUIS, March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mallinckrodt Inc., a

voluntary recall of Mallinckrodt Ultra-TechneKow(R) DTE Generators
(Technetium Tc-99m Generators) manufactured on or after February 23, 2007,
due to a single questionable sample identified during routine sterility
assurance testing of a recent generator production run.
The recall is effective immediately and the manufacturing of these
products has been suspended until at least early April to allow sufficient
time for the production process to be revalidated.
Total sales of these products in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007
were less than $15 million.
