BD Pyxis MedBank medication cabinets recalled for operating room contraindication labeling

CareFusion is recalling BD Pyxis MedBank medication management cabinets due to inadequate labeling. A contraindication statement must be added to warn against use in procedure and operating rooms.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving missing contraindication language for high-risk clinical settings (procedure and operating rooms). Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, this represents a risk-of-harm product requiring precautionary labeling correction.
