Baxter announces increased allocations for certain IV products 

Baxter Nov. 26 announced new allocation levels for multiple IV product groups and advised customers of a one- to two-week lead time for products to flow through its supply and distribution network. Allocation and fulfillment levels may vary based on product availability at the time of the order. In a letter shared with customers, Baxter highlighted increased allocations for 0.9% sodium chloride product groups. Its 1000 ml group will increase from 60% to 80%, its 500 ml group from 60% to 90% and its 250 ml group from 60% to 90%. The company said it expects to share details later this month on the next phase of increased allocations and expects to reach 100% allocation across several IV product codes by the end of the month.
