According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Scientific Protein Laboratories, of Waunakee, Wisc., and its Changzhou SPL plant in Changzhou City, China, is Baxter's main supplier of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in heparin.
Heparin blood-thinning products made by Baxter Healthcare Corp. have been linked to hundreds of adverse reactions and at least four deaths in the United States according to federal health officials.
Scientific Protein Laboratories however, has released a prepared statement that stated that it was "premature to conclude that the heparin active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sourced from China and provided by SPL to Baxter is responsible for these adverse events."
Additionally Dr. Janet Woodcock, the acting director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, stated that the FDA has not determined the root cause of the adverse events, but have found a heparin-like compound, which is not heparin, present in some of the active pharmaceutical ingredients produced by Scientific Protein Laboratories.
