Asahi Kasei Recalls REXEED Hemodialyzers Due to Adverse Event Trend
Asahi Kasei is recalling REXEED hemodialyzers after identifying a negative trend in adverse events potentially linked to a manufacturing change.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device (hemodialyzer) where adverse events have been observed, but the source explicitly states there is no conclusive link to the product yet, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' or theoretical hazard criteria.
Plain-English summary
Asahi Kasei Medical Co., Ltd. is recalling 80,208 units of REXEED-25 SX hemodialyzers. The recall covers specific lot numbers: 295W67, 295Y5K, 29656B, 296E6P, 296N72, and 296Y6J. These products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States, Japan, and Germany.
The recall was initiated because the manufacturer became aware of a negative trend in the rate of adverse events that may be associated with a manufacturing change. The source text notes that there is currently no sufficient information to conclusively link these adverse events to the products.
Healthcare providers and patients using these specific hemodialyzers should stop using the affected units and contact the manufacturer or their supplier for further instructions.
