  • Cause
    Baxter healthcare has identified an issue with the use of an incorrect plastic formulation in the manufacture of the blue luer component of the floseal malleable tips. the plastic formulation does not present any toxicity or biocompatibility concerns, but does impact the physical characteristics of the blue luer component. the affected lots of the floseal malleable applicator tip have been associated with the cracking of the luer upon connection with the syringe. since the tip is attached to the syringe outside of the surgical field, it is unlikely that plastic fragments would reach the surgical field. nevertheless, in exceptional cases, detached subvisible particles may be retained in the body and may cause inflammation, or serve as a nidus for bacteria in already contaminated wounds and contribute to allergic reactions. to date, there have been no reports of serious injury associated with this issue.
  • Action
    Baxter is advising customers to locate and return all units of the affected product. Instructions for return can be found on the Customer Letter.
