Reason for Recall
Baxter Healthcare Corporation has been made aware that users may not be following the instructions in the Operators Manual and incorrectly (using sharp objects) opening disposable set packaging while setting up their Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) therapy, damaging the cassettes for the HomeChoice or HomeChoice PRO cyclers. If damaged cassettes are used, the cyclers may not consistently detect very small holes/cuts in the sheeting of the cassette in the patient valve region and the cycler may deliver air into the patient.
Firm Action
The firm notified their consignees by letter on 07/05/2017 of the potential for damaging the disposable set if tools are used to open the packaging and directing them to only open the packaging by hand by letter.
