Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 29,370 bags of Dianeal Low Calcium (2.5 mEq/L) Peritoneal Dialysis Solution with 1.5% Dextrose. This recall was initiated because of confirmed customer complaints regarding leaks in the tubing of the 2000 mL UltraBag container bags. These leaks compromise the sterile environment required for the medication, which can lead to serious infections for patients using the solution for dialysis.
A leak in the dialysis tubing creates a pathway for environmental contaminants and bacteria to enter the solution. Because this fluid is introduced directly into the abdominal cavity during peritoneal dialysis, a lack of sterility poses a significant risk of peritonitis or other life-threatening infections.
