As of Jan. 28, all 10 of the facility’s manufacturing lines are back online with production capacity fully restored, according to a Feb. 17 news release from the company. The plant is now focused on rebuilding inventory to meet the customer and patient needs. 

Baxter said it will continue to increase allocation levels across impacted product groups and will continue to communicate updates on production levels directly to customers.
