Baxter PERI-GUARD SUPPLE marketing brochure contains inaccurate instructions

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling PERI-GUARD SUPPLE surgical devices because the marketing brochure contains inaccurate content that does not align with the products' actual Instructions for Use.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 recall involving a documentation/labeling issue where marketing materials contain inaccurate content conflicting with official instructions for use. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is one of potential misuse due to information mismatch rather than an inherent product defect.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling PERI-GUARD SUPPLE surgical devices that were distributed nationwide. The recall involves multiple product sizes and variants, identified by specific product codes and UDI numbers.

The reason for the recall is that a cardiovascular surgery marketing brochure distributed for these products contains inaccurate content that does not align with the products' Instructions for Use (IFU) or Prescribing Information (PI).

Healthcare providers and users should use the official Instructions for Use or Prescribing Information provided with the device rather than relying on marketing materials. Contact Baxter Healthcare Corporation with any questions or concerns about these products.
