The wireless battery modules may fail to automatically send infusion status information back to the hospital's electronic medical record system. This software issue only affects hospitals that have integrated their Spectrum V8 or Spectrum IQ infusion systems with their EMR systems. If the system doesn't receive this data, medical staff might not have up-to-date patient information.
Hospitals using Baxter Spectrum V8 or Spectrum IQ infusion pumps with specific battery modules and software versions are affected. Patients receiving care through these systems may be at risk if infusion status isn't properly recorded.
