Baxter Healthcare Corporation has recalled 6,874 bags of Dianeal Low Calcium (2.5 mEq/L) Peritoneal Dialysis Solution with 2.5% Dextrose (6000 mL bags). This voluntary recall was issued because of potential leaks in the connector assembly component of the bags. These leaks could compromise the sterility of the dialysis solution, which is intended for intraperitoneal administration only.
Leaking components can allow bacteria or other environmental contaminants to enter the dialysis solution, leading to a loss of sterility. If a patient uses a contaminated solution during dialysis, there is a significant risk of developing peritonitis or other serious internal infections.
Recall #: D-0587-2024. Potential leaks in the Connector Assembly component.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
