Baxter restores additional IV solutions production lines

Baxter has resumed production on all of its 3-liter irrigation and peritoneal dialysis solutions manufacturing lines, the company announced Dec. 5. The company noted that despite production resuming for those lines, more time is needed to restore output to levels reached prior to Hurricane Helene. Baxter expects all manufacturing lines to resume operation by the end of the month.
