Baxter AMIA v1.0 APD System Recall for Labeling Warning

Baxter Healthcare is recalling 55 AMIA v1.0 APD Systems to add a warning about the risk of unintended increased intraperitoneal volume for vulnerable patients.

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 is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a labeling deficiency (missing warning) rather than a reported injury or hospitalization, fitting the 'Minor labeling errors' criterion for a Moderate score.
