Baxter Flo-Thru Intraluminal Shunt recalled for marketing brochure inaccuracy

Baxter Healthcare is recalling marketing materials for the Flo-Thru Intraluminal Shunt due to inaccurate content that does not match the product's official instructions for use or 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: The recall addresses a labeling discrepancy where marketing materials contain inaccurate information relative to official product documentation. With no reported illnesses or injuries and the hazard being informational rather than a device defect, this falls under minor labeling errors.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling a cardiovascular surgery marketing brochure (US-AS46-220001) that was distributed for the Baxter Flo-Thru Intraluminal Shunt. The brochure contains inaccurate content that does not align with some product sizes' official Instructions for Use (IFU) or Prescribing Information (PI).

The affected product includes Baxter Flo-Thru Intraluminal Shunt models FT12100 (1.00 GLOBAL) through FT12300 (3.00 GLOBAL), distributed nationwide in the United States. Healthcare facilities and clinicians currently using these devices should consult the official product Instructions for Use and Prescribing Information rather than relying on the recalled marketing brochure.
