BD Pyxis Medication Dispensing Systems Recalled for Insufficient Labeling

CareFusion is recalling six models of BD Pyxis medication management systems due to insufficient labeling regarding potential delays in medication access. The manufacturer is strengthening product labeling to address this risk.

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 device recall addressing a labeling deficiency. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard involves insufficient information about medication access delays, which the manufacturer is addressing through enhanced labeling rather than product modification.

Plain-English summary

CareFusion 303, Inc. is recalling six models of BD Pyxis medication dispensing and anesthesia management systems totaling approximately 193,067 units. The affected models are the BD Pyxis MedStation ES (Catalog No. 323), BD Pyxis Anesthesia Station (Catalog No. 327), BD Pyxis MedStation ES Tower (Catalog No. 352), BD Pyxis MedStation 4000 Console (Catalog No. 309), BD Pyxis MedStation 4000 (Catalog No. 303), and BD Pyxis Anesthesia System 4000 (Catalog No. 338).

The recall was initiated because the labeling for these systems was insufficient regarding potential delays in access to medication. This labeling deficiency means healthcare providers and institutions may not have adequate information about the devices' limitations in medication dispensing timing.

These devices have been distributed nationwide throughout the United States and internationally to North America, Latin America, EMEA, and Greater Asia. Healthcare facilities using these systems should review updated labeling from the manufacturer to ensure staff understand and account for potential medication access delays when using the equipment.
