Baxter issued an urgent recall of its dialyzer, used for dialysis in kidney patients, in September 2005.
The recall letter sent to customers instructed patients of the Meridian hemodialysis system to route blood tubing through only one of two channel clips to reduce the risk of kinks.
The FDA classified the recall as a "Class 1," meaning that this product has been certifiably linked to serious injury and death.
