Recalled products

  1. MiniCap Disconnect Cap

Reason

Baxter has received complaints for opened pouches of MiniCap contained within the shipping carton of product code 5C4466P (lot #GD893891). Baxter has determined the opened pouches were due to an incomplete seal. An incomplete seal may result in the povidone-iodine drying off within the Minicap and becoming an ineffective disinfectant.
