Baxter Recalls SIGMA Spectrum Infusion Pump Rear Case Assemblies

Baxter Healthcare is recalling 439 V6 Rear Case Assemblies for SIGMA Spectrum Infusion Pumps because the speakers may fail prematurely.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II recall involving a component failure that reduces alarm functionality but does not cause direct harm, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corp. is recalling 439 units of the V6 Rear Case Assembly, Product Code 35701, which serves as a replacement part for the SIGMA Spectrum Infusion Pump. These assemblies were distributed nationwide, to Puerto Rico, and to Canada between February 4, 2015, and June 2, 2015.

The recall is being issued because some speakers included in the rear case assemblies have a variation in their internal wiring that increases the potential for the speaker to fail prematurely. The speakers are intended to generate audible tones during keystrokes and alarm conditions. If the speaker fails, the infusion pump will continue to display visual alarm indications and will otherwise continue to operate as intended.

The recalled product is a replacement assembly shipped to customers for self-repair of the Spectrum Infusion Pump. It is not a registered finished good. Customers should contact Baxter Healthcare Corp. for instructions on how to replace the affected assemblies.
