Plain-English summary
Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. is recalling 27 units of the AquaBplus and AquaBplus B2 Water Purification Systems. These devices are intended for use with hemodialysis systems to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water. The recall involves specific serial numbers for the AquaBplus, B2, and HF options, which were distributed nationwide in Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
The recall was initiated due to an error in the US Installation Guideline for the AquaBplus HF module on the AquaBplus 2500 osmosis system. The guideline incorrectly instructed that 3-ring mains, instead of 2-ring mains, may be installed in combination with the device. This configuration, involving 3-ring mains and fluid fly loops, may result in heat disinfection that is not as effective as a 2-ring main installation.
Users of these systems should contact Fresenius Medical Care for further instructions regarding the installation correction. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
