BD Pyxis MedStation ES Software Issue: Delayed Therapy Risk
CareFusion recalls BD Pyxis MedStation ES models with software v1.7.3 due to potential delayed therapy when multi-component orders fail to display available items. Affected units may need software update.
Due to an automated dispensing cabinet software issue, when a medication single order contains more than one component and at least one is unavailable for a multi-item or combination order, the order may display as grayed out; alternate location tooltip will display "Server connection failed," not listing other area devices where unavailable item(s) may be found, which may lead to delayed therapy.
