What the company is doing

Fresenius issued telephone script communication on April 28.2021 stating reason for recall, heath risk and action to take: Tell them you already contacted their Home Therapy Nurse to alert them that you would be calling them. o The purpose of my call today is that you received a delivery from us on (either Feb 22nd or Feb 23rd). o The truck you received a delivery from had a temperature malfunction due to the bad storms Texas experienced back in February. This caused the product you were delivered to be exposed to freezing or near freezing temperatures for about 3 hours. o o I see you received on . o (if received any PD SOLUTION/SALINE/or CONCENTRATES): Explain that the solutions inside their product are not affected and that we have freeze/thaw studies that prove this. Explain that due to the freezing temperatures, the packaging may become compromised, and they may have seen leaks. For the other products such as Hand Sanitizer and other ancillary products, again, the product could be compromised according to their packaging requirements listed on their packaging. o We are giving you the opportunity to return these products if you choose to do so at this time. o If returning product(s): o Fill out RGA spreadsheet with customer information including how much product they are returning (include lot# and amount returning). Driver will pick up returned products on their next scheduled visit. Fresenius Corrections and Removals Rep: Email Post Market Surveillance to open a complaint against product. o If not returning product(s): o Thank them for their time and reiterate to always inspect their packaging for leaks as this is what they are trained to do anyways from their Home Therapies Nurse.
