FDA 483 - Utah Valley Hospital - December 11, 2025

Utah Valley Hospital's Hospital Transfusion Service in Provo, UT, was cited for failing to maintain adequate storage and distribution records for blood products. The inspection revealed multiple instances where blood products were emergency released and transfused without the required physician's signature, directly violating the hospital's own standard operating procedures. This indicates a significant lapse in adherence to critical record-keeping protocols for blood product management.
