Baxter has issued a recall for several lots of these products after identifying a risk that some products were incorrectly assembled with inverted side clamps, according to an Dec. 31 agency news release.
If the solution sets are used with an infusion clamp, medication may not be delivered properly and blood could backflow into the system, posing serious health risks, particularly for critically ill patients or neonates.
Baxter has sent an urgent recall notice to affected healthcare facilities, instructing them to immediately check stock for affected lot numbers and discontinue use of the products.
The agency said no injuries related to the issue have been reported but that it is monitoring the situation.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
