Action
Baxter Healthcare Corporation sent an Urgent Device Correction letter, dated 11/14/07, to all of the affected customers, informing them of the Heparin Bolus and the Withheld Medication issues and provided them with interim mitigation instructions that they should implement while waiting for a software correction. A Baxter representative will contact the customer to schedule the software update when the upgraded software is released. Customers were requested to complete and return the enclosed Customer Reply Form, indicating that they have disseminated the information to their staff, and indicating if they still have RenalSoft software and require an upgrade. Any questions were directed to Baxter Global Technical Services at 1-800-553-6898, option 4. A follow-up letter dated 3/6/08 was sent to the consignees on the same date, informing them that the upgraded RenalSoft Software v.2.0.1 was now available for installation. The consignees were requested to complete and fax back the customer reply form indicating that they received the letter, and were informed that they would be contacted by a Baxter representative to schedule an installation of the software upgrade at no charge.
