Baxter recalls SPECTRUM IQ Infusion System with Doze IQ software (serials before 07/09/2018) due to false error messages when programming drugs not in the library.
If an operator attempts to manually program a Basic Infusion for a drug that is not included in the Drug Library using the Basic-Dose Mode, the operator will receive a false hard limit exceeded error, preventing him or her from programming the infusion.
