07/10/2024, Baxter Issues Urgent Medical Device Recall for Life2000 Ventilator Due to Potential Battery Charger Dongle Damage
DEERFIELD, Ill., July 10, 2024 – Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX) announced today it has issued an Urgent Medical Device Recall for Life2000 ventilators with an attached battery charger dongle. The recall is due to reports that the devices are not properly charging when there is damage to the battery charger dongle. Baxter has received one serious injury complaint potentially related to this issue and is working with customers to replace affected Life2000 ventilator devices.
Damage to the battery charger dongle prevents the ventilator’s internal battery from charging. If the Life2000 ventilator fails to charge or has intermittent charging behavior, this may leave the patient unable to use the device. For patients requiring ventilator support, inability to use the device may result in oxygen desaturation episodes that range from mild to potentially life-threatening. Patients should always have an alternate means of ventilation or oxygen therapy available.
