Recall Details

Company:
Baxter Healthcare Corporation
Reason for Recall:
Baxter is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Correction for the Novum IQ large volume pump (LVP) due to the potential for underinfusion when transitioning from a flow rate to a higher flow rate that is more than double. (e.g., rate change or bolus). The level of underinfusion is variable based on the current infusion rate, the duration the pump has been running at this flow rate, and the magnitude of the rate change. The longer the duration the pump has been running at the current infusion rate and the larger the magnitude of the rate change, the larger the underinfusion that would be experienced. Additionally, Baxter has identified an increase in customer reports of over and underinfusion potentially due to set misloading. Failure to properly load the tubing into the pump channel may result in the pump infusing at a rate higher or lower than programmed. Consistent with the instructions for use, customers should ensure that: 1) The door is fully open before loading the set. 2) The tubing is taut and loaded without slack in the pumping channel.

Affected oral/axillary probes were inadvertently programmed with the rectal probe configuration. Affected probes will potentially display a lower temperature than the true value, which may lead to a delay in managing fever-related symptoms or infection.
