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 III recall involving incorrect labeling and barcode compliance issues with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard is a documentation and identification problem rather than a direct clinical safety risk, consistent with FDA Class III recalls being typically scored 1 or 2.
Plain-English summary
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling Starling Monitor devices (product codes CMMST5 and CMM-ST5), along with the Starling Battery Pack and Starling Patient Cable accessories, due to labeling defects affecting device identification and tracking.
The recalled devices have incorrect or incomplete Unique Device Identification (UDI) information printed on their labels, and the barcodes do not comply with GS1 standards. This labeling issue affects approximately 9,671 units with serial numbers after June 2016 that were distributed nationwide and to government and military facilities.
The incorrect UDI information prevents proper electronic identification and tracking of the devices in healthcare systems. Healthcare providers and facilities that have received these devices should contact Baxter Healthcare Corporation for instructions on obtaining corrected labeling or replacement units.
