FDA classifies Baxter's hospital bed system recall as the most serious type, on concerns it could lead to life-threatening injuries or death. MedTwitter
- The U.S. health regulator last Wednesday classified the recall of hospital bed systems by Baxter International Inc, as the most serious type, on concerns it could lead to life-threatening injuries or death.
In the letter, Baxter warned users about the potential for WatchCare's radio frequencies to interfere with other medical devices. The correction letter was updated last month to include actions healthcare practitioners could undertake in case they encountered any malfunction or interference. Baxter, which makes smart hospital beds, recalled 8,550 WatchCare devices distributed between Aug. 1, 2018 and Sept. 1, 2022.
