Reason for Recall

The Spanish language patient operating manual called the Patient At-Home Guide, was not updated when several warnings were added to the English version that may assist the operator in the safe and effective operation of the home dialysis machine.

Firm Action

An Urgent Device Correction letter was sent in Spanish and English, along with the new Spanish Patient At-Home Guide, item 157-1260-806ES, to Spanish-only speaking customers and their affiliated facilities on 9/12/05. The letters highlighted the additions to the Patient At-Home Guide and asked the customers to review them carefully and to use the new guide from this point forward to assist them in the safe and effective operation of their HomeChoice/HomeChoice PRO machine. They were instructed to discard any previous versions of the guide. Any questions were directed to Baxter DIalysis Patient Services at 1-800-2824-4060.
