✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Baxter is recalling its TruSystem 7500 stationary column due to a software problem that prevents the upper back section from being adjusted when emergency mode is activated. This could affect the device's proper function during critical medical procedures.

Why it’s dangerous

The software issue causes the upper back section to become unadjustable when emergency mode is enabled. This could prevent proper adjustment of the column during critical medical procedures, potentially affecting patient care.

Who’s affected

Healthcare facilities using Baxter TruSystem 7500 stationary columns are most at risk, particularly those with medical equipment requiring precise adjustments during emergencies.

Check for the product code 1717020 on the device. Units were manufactured until November 14, 2024, and include serial numbers up to 00887761974418.
