Baxter Healthcare Corporation has recalled 118 units of the Welch Allyn INF BAG Thigh 1-Tube replacement bladder kit (Model REF 5089-18). These kits, designed as replacement parts for two-piece blood pressure cuffs, may contain a Large Adult size bladder instead of the intended Thigh size bladder. Because these kits are packaged with the incorrect size, healthcare providers may inadvertently use the wrong bladder for a patient's leg size.
Using an incorrectly sized blood pressure bladder can lead to inaccurate measurements, such as falsely low or high blood pressure readings. These errors can result in a clinician failing to recognize a serious medical condition or providing unnecessary treatment based on faulty data.
Product is a replacement bladder for the Welch Allyn Two-Piece Blood Pressure Cuff.
