Manufacturer Reason

FDA Determined
Cause 2		Other
ActionBaxter sent urgent device correction letters dated 2/20/04 to the Hemodialysis Unit Administrators on the same date. The letters informed the accounts of the potential of a heater system failure that under specific conditions could lead to a fire. The letters listed the concurrent conditions that must exist for the potential overheating, and recommended that the following steps be taken to ensure the safety in operating the devices: 1) Plug these machine into GFCI outlets if available, and 2) If GFCI outlets are not available at the facility, the machines must be 'hard-powered off' after dialysis treatments are complete at the end of the day. The machine is had-powered off by placing the main power switch located in the back of the machine into the OFF position. If the facility typically performs a heat clean cycle of machines after treatments are completed, it is imperative that the machines are hard powered off at the completion of the cycle. Any questions were directed to Baxter Instrument Services at 1-800-553-6898, select prompt 3, option 2 and choice 1, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM EST.
