Baxter recalls MARS Treatment Kit (Product Code 800541) due to albumin circuit leakage from tubing connections. Affected units have specific lot numbers and were sold with MARS Monitor 1TC.
Baxter has received customer complaints regarding leakage in the albumin circuit. The leakage was caused by an inadequate adhesive connection of the tubing to the Hansen connector of the MARS Tube Set which is part of the MARS Treatment Kit.
Baxter is recalling MARS Treatment Kits that may leak albumin due to poor tubing connections. This could lead to improper treatment and potential health risks for patients using the kit.
The albumin circuit can leak because the tubing isn't securely attached to the Hansen connector. This leakage may cause improper treatment during dialysis procedures.
