Equipment used to measure donor breast milk the source of a waterborne bacteria that infected eight infants — including three who died — in the Geisinger neonatal intensive care unit, according to a statement from the hospital.
Testing by the Danville hospital, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, traced the bacteria to the equipment, according to an article on the Daily Item website.
The hospital has since changed the process for measuring and administering donated breast milk.
A Department of Health spokesperson said the department has worked with the hospital "to resolve any public health concerns, and to ensure that appropriate follow-up measures occurred."
