What the company is doing
Baxter Healthcare notified customers on about 09/19/2019, via "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter. Customers were informed that specific TherMax Blood Warmers listed below may not be in compliance with an electrical safety standard, which requires a protective earth connection that can sustain a current of 25 amps for 10 seconds.
