Here are three IV shortage updates:
- Baxter has restarted production on all three 3L irrigation manufacturing lines and all peritoneal dialysis solutions lines at the North Cove site.
- While manufacturing has resumed, the company said it will take time for production to ramp up and reach the site’s output levels from before Hurricane Helene ripped through North Carolina.
- Two IV solutions lines, which were restarted in November, are producing about 85% of their pre-hurricane capacity for 1-liter solutions, a critical size used by hospitals and clinics.
