Fresenius recalls BIBAG 650g and 900g dialysis bags due to potential freezing from refrigerated truck malfunctions. Patients with kidney disease using these bags at home or in healthcare settings may face safety risks.
Exposed to freezing temperatures due to refrigerated truck malfunctions
Fresenius is recalling two types of dialysis bags for patients with kidney disease. The bags could freeze if refrigerated trucks malfunction, potentially causing harm to the patient's treatment.
The dialysis bags are designed to be used with a specific dialysis machine. If refrigerated trucks malfunction and the bags freeze, it could disrupt the treatment process and potentially cause harm to the patient.
Patients with acute or chronic end-stage renal disease using these dialysis bags at home or in healthcare settings. Those who have the specific lot numbers listed in the recall are most at risk.
Check for the model numbers 08-4078-BB (650 grams) or 08-4080-BB (900 grams) on the bags. The bags were sold with specific lot numbers: B4MA27140 for the 650g bags and B5MB24110 for the 900g bags.
Look for model numbers 08-4078-BB or 08-4080-BB on the bags.
