Company comments As we work closely with our Supply Chain Operations to minimize the impact to both renal programs and patients, we are implementing a temporary allocation on the affected codes. Effective immediately, Baxter will be contacting all impacted patients and managing their inventory and shipments on a weekly basis or as required. In doing so, we will be releasing a reduced amount of product supply that is sufficient per patient therapy. Multiple shipments will take place to the patient’s home, and we will minimize substitutions unless clinically required. The manufacturing facility supplying the raw material component has advised that they have identified the root cause of the issue, corrective actions have been taken, and supply of new componentry will be shipped to our Alliston facility later this week. We thus expect to have replacement production occurring in coming days. More definitive timelines will be provided once replacement production occurs and finished goods testing is underway.
