Baxter recalls Novum IQ Syringe Pumps (Product Code 40700BAX) due to software issues that may cause blank run screens or false motor errors. Affected units should be checked for serial numbers.
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Correction for the Novum IQ Large Volume Pump (LVP) and Novum IQ Syringe Pump (SP) due to software anomalies that may result in a blank Run screen (LVP and SP) and/or false motor movement system error (SP only).
Baxter is recalling Novum IQ Syringe Pumps with Product Code 40700BAX because software problems might cause the screen to go blank or the pump to move incorrectly. This could lead to incorrect medication delivery during medical treatments.
