FDA says Baxter International issued 10/21 an urgent medical device correction for its WatchCare incontinence management system due to the potential for radio frequency interference with other medical devices. An agency [notice](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/baxter-issues-urgent-medical-device-correction-regarding-potential-radio-frequency-interference?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says that to date, interference in all cases but two occurred at distances less than one meter. “There is insufficient data about distance on the remaining two reported interferences,” it says.

Baxter says affected devices could include insulin pump/blood glucose sensors, fetal monitor/doppler, telemetry devices, bladder scanner, and infusion injection pump.

Given the possible affected devices, Baxter says, serious harm or death may occur, although no serious injuries or deaths have been reported to date. The issue could affect medical devices on patients as well as staff caring for patients, it says.

The company says that users and facilities should immediately locate all affected devices and stop the use of all WatchCare system accessories where possible until this functionality is temporarily disabled and while Baxter continues to work to determine the cause of the problem.
