Baxter Vascular Probe Marketed with Inaccurate Prescribing Information
Baxter Healthcare is recalling its Vascular Probe due to inaccurate marketing materials that do not align with the product's official Instructions for Use. Providers should reference only the official IFU and PI.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for a documentation discrepancy between marketing materials and official IFU/PI, with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is informational rather than a physical product defect, fitting the rubric for minor labeling errors.
Plain-English summary
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling Baxter Vascular Probe models distributed nationwide in the United States. The recall concerns a cardiovascular surgery marketing brochure (US-AS46-220001) that contains inaccurate content.
The marketing brochure does not align with the product's official Instructions for Use (IFU) and Prescribing Information (PI). This discrepancy between marketing materials and official documentation could create confusion about proper product use and handling.
Healthcare facilities and providers who received the marketing brochure should disregard it and rely exclusively on the official Instructions for Use and Prescribing Information. No illnesses or injuries have been reported related to this discrepancy. Baxter Healthcare can be contacted for replacement materials or clarification.
