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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves the potential delivery of disinfectant to patients, which is a risk-of-harm product scenario where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.
Plain-English summary
Fresenius Medical Care Renal Therapies Group, LLC is recalling 40 units of the 2008T Hemodialysis System with BiBag (Part Number 190766), which is applicable only with the 2008T BlueStar Premium Upgrade Kit (Part Number 191138). The product is indicated for acute and chronic dialysis therapy.
The recall is due to a software defect that occurs if a power failure or interruption happens during the cleaning and disinfection program while the auto-start feature is enabled. In this specific scenario, the machine may enter the dialysis program even though the dialysis program button is disabled and the mandatory rinse has not been performed. This failure could result in disinfecting chemicals not being completely removed from the machine, potentially allowing disinfectant to exist in the dialysate delivered to the patient.
The affected units were distributed in the United States in the states of California, Connecticut, Michigan, North Carolina, and New York. Specific lot codes are listed in the agency documentation. Consumers and healthcare facilities should contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to address this issue.
