China NMPA Product Recall - Peritoneal dialysis external short tube

Baxter Medical Products Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. initiated a voluntary Class II recall for its Peritoneal Dialysis External Short Catheter on December 11, 2020. This action was prompted by an increase in complaints received from other countries regarding product blockage and leakage issues at the catheter's switch mechanism. It is important to note that the specific batches identified with these issues had not been sold within the Chinese market at the time of the recall. The recall falls under the regulatory oversight of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China, as indicated by Index No. JGXX-2020-10693. The company is taking proactive measures to address the potential quality concerns, with detailed information on the affected product models, specifications, and batch numbers being available in the associated 'Medical Device Recall Report Form'. This voluntary recall underscores the company's commitment to patient safety and product quality under NMPA guidelines.
