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: The recall involves a high-risk medical device where a software error could lead to excessive fluid removal, posing a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

NxStage Medical, Inc. is recalling 2,134 units of the NxStage System One S Cycler (Model no. NX1000-3) used for home hemodialysis. The recall involves units running software versions 4.9 and 4.10, which were distributed worldwide.

The recall is due to a software error that may prevent the Ultrafiltration Volume (UFV) from decreasing during treatment. As a result, the UF pump may continue to run and remove fluid even after the target UF volume has already been removed.

Patients using these devices for home hemodialysis should contact NxStage Medical or their healthcare provider for instructions on how to proceed. The source text does not specify a date for the recall or report any specific injuries or illnesses.
