MANUFACTURER:

    Baxter Healthcare Corporation
    Deerfield, IL

REASON:

    Baxter is performing a voluntary product recall on Amicus Apheresis Kits for the above listed lots. Pinhole leaks were observed at the two-omega end of the umbilicus (multilumen tubing), causing a blood leak. If an umbilicus leak occurs during a procedure, the Amicus instrument will detect the leak, halt the procedure, and isolate the donor. If an umbilicus leak is detected, either during the procedure or after the procedure is completed, the product should be immediately discarded. Consignees have been asked to contact the manufacturer to arrange for product return.
