FDA recalls APD Drain Manifold units lacking regulatory clearance

Baxter Healthcare is recalling 180 APD Drain Manifold units distributed in nine US states because certain product codes lack FDA regulatory clearance. Patients using affected units should contact Baxter Healthcare immediately.

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 an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is regulatory non-compliance (lack of FDA clearance) rather than a demonstrated safety defect, making this a precautionary regulatory recall without reported patient harm.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling the APD Drain Manifold medical device. The recall involves 180 units that were distributed across nine US states: California, Missouri, Massachusetts, Arizona, Texas, Florida, New York, Maryland, and Ohio.

The reason for this recall is that certain product codes lack FDA regulatory clearance. The affected units were distributed within the United States in error because they did not have the required FDA approval before being released to market.

Patients currently using affected units should stop using them and contact Baxter Healthcare Corporation immediately. Healthcare providers should verify that any APD Drain Manifold units in their facilities are not part of this recall by checking the product codes and lot numbers against the recall information provided by Baxter.
