Plain-English summary

Baxa Corporation is issuing a field correction for the Repeater Pump, a Class II medical device used in hospital pharmacies to facilitate repeatable drug dosage distribution and reconstitution. The recall affects models 095, 099, and 099R. The device is designed for use with IV bags, syringes, elastomeric infusers, and other drug administration containers.

The recall was initiated because the Technical Manual was distributed with the device instead of the Operator Manual.

The affected devices were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and countries such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Guam, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, the UK, and Venezuela.
