Reason for Recall
The on/off power switch is not grounded as a separate component in the device, and can loosen from its housing, which may result in an electrical shock to the user.
Firm Action
Baxter sent Urgent Device Correction letters to the Peritoneal Dialysis Home Care Coordinators on 11/1/04 and to the Home Dialysis Patients on 11/2/04. The consignees were informed of the potential for a shock if the power switch loosens in the housing, and that the switch would be replaced with a grounded power switch on a next service call basis. If the patient experiences any difficulty turing the device on or off, or if they notice that the power switch is loose, they were instructed to immediately unplug the device and contact Baxter Global Technical Service (BGTS) at 1-800-553-6898, option 1, for immediate assistance.
