NxStage Medical Inc. has recalled approximately 1,316,936 units of PureFlow-B Solution, a premixed dialysate used for hemodialysis. The recall was initiated because the smaller chamber of the two-chamber bag may burst while being mixed by medical staff prior to use. This defect can lead to the release of a highly acidic electrolyte fluid that can cause chemical burns and creates a significant slip-and-fall hazard.
The fluid inside the small chamber has a pH level of less than 2.0, making it highly acidic and capable of causing chemical burns if it contacts skin or eyes. Additionally, the spilled liquid on clinical floors creates a slip hazard that could lead to fall injuries for patients or healthcare providers.
