DEERFIELD, Ill. -

We understand the critical importance of supply continuity and are committed to providing transparent and proactive communications related to the temporary supply constraint of Baxter’s Welch Allyn Flexiport Disposable blood pressure cuffs.

Manufacturing: We are pleased to share that we’ve made significant progress in our capacity expansion plan, including the installation of one blood pressure cuff machine in the U.S., which has been fully operational and shipping cuffs since March 14. In addition, a second new machine was recently installed in our U.S.-based production location that will be fully operational in late May. As previously communicated, these capital equipment investments and diversification of our manufacturing locations will support the acceleration of our backlog recovery and our supply agility going forward.

Supply - NEW: Effective May 12, Welch Allyn Flexiport Disposable blood pressure cuffs are no longer on allocation.
