Abbott resumes baby formula production & 4 more supply chain updates

Four supply chain updates from the last week that ASC leaders need to know:

1. Philips Respironics recalled all V60 and V60 Plus ventilators June 3 over a power issue that may cause the devices to shut down without an alarm.

2. As the number of confirmed monkeypox national cases creeped up to 25 in 12 states as of June 5, the HHS has stockpiled about 36,000 monkeypox vaccine doses. 

3. Pfizer will manufacture materials for the antiviral drug Paxlovid in Kalamazoo, Mich., after a $120 million investment for the treatment's first stateside factory.

4. The catalyst for the national baby formula shortage, Abbott's plant in Sturgis, Mich., restarted production after a monthslong closure due to contamination. 

5. Production of an X-ray imaging dye at a Shanghai, China, plant will resume at normal speed this week after COVID-19-related shutdowns halted supplies in May.
