“Outset Tablo Hemodialysis System Recall: High Conductivity Dialysate Alarms.” GovInfoNow, updated August 19, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/59017-outset-tablo-hemodialysis-system-recall-high-conductivity-dialysate-alarms. Based on FDA recall #Z-1351-2023 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-1351-2023%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The software change introduced during manufacturing caused the dialysate to show higher conductivity levels than expected. This could lead to incorrect dialysis treatment if the alarms are not properly managed.

Who’s affected

Home dialysis patients using the Tablo system with model numbers PN-0006000 or PN-0007001 are affected. Patients using the system without proper monitoring may be at slightly higher risk.
