DEERFIELD, Ill. – Baxter Healthcare Corporation announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified Baxter’s recent Urgent Product Recall regarding Increased Intraperitoneal Volume (IIPV), or overfill of the abdominal cavity, associated with HomeChoice and HomeChoice Pro peritoneal dialysis cyclers as a Class I recall. This action has been classified as a Class I recall because of the risk of serious injury or patient death that could be associated with the use of this device. Over the last two years, Baxter has received serious injury reports and at least one patient death report associated with this issue.
Baxter is continuing to investigate the causes, fixes, and mitigations associated with IIPV and use of the HomeChoice device. Current mitigations under development and implementation include changes to device labeling and software, which are intended to address issues such as prescription and patient errors, including bypassing alarms. Patients will receive new Patient At-Home Guides, which contain expanded information about IIPV, the symptoms, warnings and cautions, and how to address IIPV, should it occur. Baxter has also developed and is validating a software modification to address this issue and plans to submit a 510(k) to the FDA midyear. The software update will include additional user interface messages and alarms, and change default settings and allowable ranges to reduce risk of excessive accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
