Plain-English summary
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing a voluntary product recall for several lots of Phoenix Dialysis Machine Preventive Maintenance Kits. The recall involves 256 kits that were distributed nationwide. The specific product code is 6997274, and the affected lot codes are 160718E, 160720E, and 160825E.
The recall is due to incorrect silicone straight connector components packaged in the kits. These connectors are larger than expected. During preventive maintenance, these specific connectors must only be installed in the Phoenix mass-balance section of the hydraulic circuit if the machine has already been modified with the "CONN. IMPROVING RETR. KIT" (Code SP00721). If these incorrect connectors are installed in machines modified with SP00721, it may result in fluid leaks during dialysis treatment.
The Phoenix Hemodialysis delivery system is intended for use by trained operators in chronic care dialysis facilities or acute care units for patients weighing 15 kilograms or more. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
