Plain-English summary
CareFusion 303, Inc. is recalling 9,345 units of the Jadak Barcode Scanner (Part No. 350587-32, 350587-41, 351377-32). These scanners are accessories used with the Pyxis Anesthesia ES system and Pyxis Anesthesia system 4000 stations to scan medication labels during refills and dispensing.
The recall was initiated because customers reported issues when scanning medications. When a user scans a medication using the affected barcode scanner, information on a different medication could be communicated to the Pyxis product. This potential for data mismatch could lead to the dispensing of the wrong medication.
The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Mexico, Guam, and the Bahamas. Healthcare facilities using these specific scanner part numbers with Pyxis Anesthesia systems should verify their inventory against the provided list of serial numbers and contact CareFusion 303, Inc. for further instructions.
