Baxter Issues Urgent Medical Device Correction for All Spectrum IQ Infusion Pumps to Reinforce Important Safety Information Regarding Best Practices for Customer-Initiated IT Network Updates
Baxter International Inc. announced today it has issued an Urgent Medical Device Correction for all Spectrum IQ infusion pumps to reinforce important safety information when customers implement changes to their network configuration and server systems. Baxter previously communicated this information to customers via an Urgent Medical Device Correction notification on June 4, 2021 and a follow-up communication with updated informationExternal Link Disclaimer on August 2, 2021.
Two Spectrum IQ infusion pump customers notified Baxter of system errors occurring in multiple pumps within their fleets following changes the customers implemented to the configuration of their network and server systems. Gateway Server System performance anomalies resulted in multiple pump connectivity errors, placing stress on the pump’s processor. When this occurs, pumps initiate a “watchdog” system error alarm to notify the user of the issue, causing the pump to enter a fail-safe mode which stops all pump processes, including delivery of fluid to the patient. For both customers, the watchdog system errors were resolved by restoring network and server system performance to expected levels. To date, there have been no reports of adverse events or patient injury associated with this issue. However, depending on several factors, such as the length of delay, medication being infused, the volume and rate of the infusion, patient status, and comorbidities, the patient may experience serious adverse health consequences or death.
