Exacta Mix Vented Micro-Volume Inlet recalled by Baxter Healthcare

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Affected lots may contain incorrect 0.8-micron filters. Use of a 0.8-micron filter in place of the validated 3-micron filter may lead to reduced flow efficiency, incomplete or slower transfers of ingredients, or system alarms. This issue may lead to clinical effects such as electrolyte imbalance, metabolic instability, delayed recovery, etc.

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