Dianeal Low Calcium Dialysis Solution Recall: Sterility Risk from Connector Leaks
Baxter Healthcare recalls 6,874 bags of Dianeal Low Calcium peritoneal dialysis solution due to potential leaks in the connector assembly that could compromise product sterility.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II designation without reported hospitalizations, illnesses, or confirmed contamination applies. The hazard involves potential sterility compromise in a critical dialysis solution—a risk-of-harm product—but no patient harm has been reported in the source, constraining severity to High rather than Severe.
