Reason for recall

Firm learned of the potential for cracks to form in the conductivity sensors during use, which may lead to a leak in the dialysate circuit. This could result in excessive ultrafiltration or insufficient ultrafiltration depending on whether the dialysis machine is equipped with a Dialysis Fluid filter.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
