Baxter Healthcare is recalling certain CLEARLINK IV extension sets that may leak. This could lead to IV complications if the leak occurs during use. Affected units have specific product codes and lot numbers.

Check for product code 2C8610 and lot numbers starting with R25C31024 on the extension set. The product includes a 44-inch (111 centimeters) straight-type extension set with a CLEARLINK Luer Activated Valve and retractable collar.
Inspect the extension set for signs of leakage. If leaking, stop using it immediately.
