Renal related alerts and recalls for drugs and medical devices
Baxter Prismax System
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing a Device Correction to the user level for the PrisMax System. This correction is due to a software anomaly occurring during use. If the operator initiates therapy with a saved prescription profile (see PrisMax Operator Manual for further information on profiles) and makes a change to the prescription after a disposable filter change using the Same Patient button, the PrisMax System may display values from the original prescription profile, rather than the current prescription.

Issued: 12 October 2021
