Firm Action
The recalling firm issued letters dated 2/25/2022 via first class mail to the U.S. consignees. The letter explained the reason for recall, described the affected product, the hazard involved, and the actions to be taken by the customer. Those actions included to immediately check their inventory and segregate the affected product, which had a notation that if there are Luer lock tip caps co-mingled with Luer slip tip caps in the same DISCPAC container, please discard the DISCPAC container and that tip caps that are not co-mingled can continue to be used safely following good pharmacy practices. If the consignee received the letter directly from Baxter, they are to acknowledge receipt by responding on the customer portal. If the product was purchased from a distributor, they only need to respond to the distributor or wholesaler according to their instructions. If the product was further distributed to other facilities or departments within their institution, they were instructed to forward a copy of the letter to them. If the customer is a dealer, wholesaler, distributor/reseller, or original equipment manufacturer that distributed the affected product to other facilities, they are to distribute the notification to them.
A Reply Form Instruction Sheet was enclosed which outlined the details of the affected product and Baxter Field Action Portal Acknowledgement Instructions.
