Hospitals Told to Pull IV Saline Bags After Fiberglass and Rust Particles Found in Sterile Fluids
Baxter and B. Braun recalled IV saline bags due to fiberglass and rust particles. Baxter recalled sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and dextrose lots, while B. Braun recalled sodium chloride. No injuries reported, but particles pose serious risks if they enter the bloodstream. Baxter's North Cove plant supplies 60% of U.S. IV fluids, raising concerns about potential shortages. The FDA has not yet classified these recalls.
