  • Reason
    Baxter would like to inform you that an error in the sequence of instructions in the direction inserts for the products listed above has been identified. in section 1 (set placement on cycler) under directions for use, step 1.3 instructs users to remove the protector from the patient line connector on the set prior to connecting solution bags. users should not remove the protector from the patient line connector on the set prior to connecting solution bags. the tip protector should be removed from the patient line connector after priming and immediately prior to connecting the patient line to the transfer set, as described in the in the homechoice and homechoice pro apd systems patient at-home guide. exposure of the patient line during setup can lead to touch contamination resulting in the potential for developing peritonitis. baxter is in the process of updating the direction inserts with the correct sequence of instructions.
