Issue

Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Baxter) is in the process of implementing an urgent medical device correction for the Ak98 hemodialysis machines listed. These devices are manufactured using peroxide-cured silicone tubing within the hydraulic circuit. The Baxter Ak98 dialysis machine is intended to be used for intermittent hemodialysis and/or isolated ultrafiltration treatments of patients with chronic or acute renal failure or fluid overload.

Baxter is aware of several recalls by other manufacturers related to the potential risk of exposure to nondioxin-like (NDL) polychlorinated biphenyl acids (PCBAs) and ndl polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) when using certain peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis devices. The source of the NDL PCBAs and/or NDL PCBs in those recalls was due to the manufacturing process of the silicone tubing.

Recall Start Date: October 21, 2024
