Responsible Entity	Baxter Healthcare Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue	Baxter Healthcare identified that the affected products (Self-Righting Luer Slip and Luer Lock Tip Caps ) were manufactured and shipped with inaccurate single and case labels, missing the latex symbol. The heat shrink tape used on the DISCPAC package is the only product component that contains latex. The Instructions for Use (IFU) correctly identifies the content of latex. Unintended or accidental exposure to latex has the potential to elicit a hypersensitivity reaction, especially in sensitised individuals. Symptoms may range from skin irritation to anaphylaxis. Baxter has not received any reports of adverse events associated with this issue.
Recall Action	Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions	Baxter is alerting its customers of this labelling issue of missing latex symbol in an effort to prevent unintended exposure to latex. Baxter is updating the labelling of the affected products to include the latex symbol for future batches. This action has been closed-out on 02/03/2016.
