It was reported that, "Nurse reported that they discovered that they had 1 component of PENTACEL left in the box, so they presume that they have 1 patient who received an incomplete dose of PENTACEL. They've narrowed it down to three patients that it could be based one when inventory was done. The nurse was not certain what diluent was used to reconstitute the HIB, but it was likely sterile water because sterile water is the only diluent that they have supplied in their office".
