Baxter recalls MiniCap Disconnect Caps with Povidone-Iodine Solution (5C4466P) due to potential open/weak pouch seals causing insufficient disinfectant. Affected units have specific lot numbers and were sold before September 30, 2022.
MiniCap Disconnect Cap with Povidone-Iodine are packaged in foil pouches, which may have been incorrectly sealed, i.e., the pouches may have open or weak seals. This could lead to exposure to air, resulting in insufficient iodine/dry sponge inside the MiniCap, which could lead to the potential for inadequate disinfectant.
Baxter is recalling MiniCap Disconnect Caps with Povidone-Iodine Solution because the foil pouches might have open or weak seals. This could mean the disinfectant inside isn't strong enough, which might not properly clean medical equipment during peritoneal dialysis.
The foil pouches may have open or weak seals, allowing air exposure. This reduces the iodine concentration in the solution, potentially making it less effective at disinfecting medical equipment during peritoneal dialysis procedures.

Check for the product code 5C4466P with lot numbers GD912051 through GD912204. These caps were sold before September 30, 2022, for peritoneal dialysis use.
