Why B.Braun Medical's Latest Recall is a Serious One

B. Braun Medical has recalled more than 1000 Dialog+ hemodialysis systems due to cracks in conductivity sensors.

The cracks may allow air into the dialysis fluid that helps filter waste and other excess fluids in the blood, according an FDA notice. Although no patients were apparently harmed, the presence of air in the fluid could lead to improper blood filtration, causing serious adverse health consequences, including death. FDA has pegged the recall Class I.
