Baxter Healthcare recalls ABACUS TPN calculation software versions 3.1-3.3 due to potential medication errors. Affected users should contact Baxter for details.
There is a potential risk of medication error when using specific Abacus Order Entry & Calculation software.
Baxter Healthcare is recalling specific versions of their ABACUS TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) calculation software because there's a risk of medication errors when used with certain medical devices. This could lead to incorrect dosing of critical medications for patients receiving intravenous nutrition.
The software may produce incorrect medication calculations when used with ExactaMix devices, potentially leading to improper dosing of critical nutrients and medications. This risk occurs during the software's normal operation when entering patient data and calculating medication requirements.
Healthcare providers using the recalled software with ExactaMix automated compounding devices (ExactaMix 1200 or 2400) are most at risk. Patients receiving intravenous nutrition through this system could be affected.
Check for product codes 8300-0167 (V3.1 CE), 8300-0168 (V3.1 SE), 8300-0169 (V3.1 ME), 8300-0191 (V3.2 CE), 8300-0192 (V3.2 SE), 8300-0193 (V3.2 ME), 8300-3391 (V3.3 CE), 8300-3392 (V3.3 SE), or 8300-3393 (V3.3 ME). The software is commonly used with ExactaMix 1200 or 2400 devices.
Verify your software version by checking the product code on the device or documentation.
