|
Manufacturer Reason for Recall | TherMax Blood Warmers may not be in compliance with an electrical safety standard, which requires a protective earth
connection that can sustain a current of 25 amps for 10 seconds. |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Device Design |
| Action | Baxter Healthcare notified customers on about 09/19/2019, via "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter. Customers were informed that specific TherMax Blood Warmers listed below may not be in compliance with an electrical safety standard, which requires a protective earth connection that can sustain a current of 25 amps for 10 seconds. The affected units may not have an adequate ground path, which could cause the units to become damaged if used with improperly grounded outlets. The damage could cause the TherMax Blood Warmer units to be nonfunctional during clinical use.
Instructions included that customers could continue to safely use affected devices with a properly grounded outlet, that a local Baxter representative will contact each facility to arrange for the correction of affected devices, to complete and return the Baxter Customer Reply Form via fax to 224-270-5457 or scanning and e-mailing it to fca@baxter.com, and to notify customers if the product was further distributed.
