Marketing brochure for Baxter Floseal hemostatic device contains inaccurate content

Baxter Healthcare is recalling a cardiovascular surgery marketing brochure for Baxter Floseal Hemostatic Matrix Fast Prep because it contains inaccurate content that does not match the official product instructions and prescribing information.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving inaccurate marketing materials rather than a product defect. No illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported. The hazard is documentation-related, representing a minor labeling error where the official Instructions for Use and Prescribing Information remain correct and available.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling a cardiovascular surgery marketing brochure (US-AS46-220001) for Baxter Floseal Hemostatic Matrix Fast Prep, product codes ADS201844 (5 mL) and ADS201845 (10 mL), distributed nationwide in the United States.

The marketing brochure contains information that does not align with the product's official Instructions for Use (IFU) and Prescribing Information (PI). This discrepancy between marketing materials and official documentation could create confusion among healthcare providers and surgical teams about proper product use and application.

The affected products have been distributed nationwide. Healthcare facilities and surgical departments that received or are using this marketing material should compare it against the official product documentation to verify compliance with correct usage protocols.

Healthcare providers should disregard the marketing brochure and rely exclusively on the official Instructions for Use and Prescribing Information when using Baxter Floseal Hemostatic Matrix Fast Prep. The official product documentation provides the authoritative guidance for safe and effective use of the device.
