Baxter TruSystem 7500 Hybrid Plus software issue affects emergency mode operation

Baxter is recalling 48 TruSystem 7500 Hybrid Plus units due to a software issue that prevents the upper back section from being adjusted when emergency mode is enabled.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 with a functional safety issue affecting a critical device function during emergencies. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. The hazard is genuine—inability to operate in emergency mode—but remains precautionary since no actual patient harm has been documented. This meets the criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 48 TruSystem 7500 Hybrid Plus (SC) units with Product Code 1854088 manufactured until November 14, 2024.

The recall is due to a software issue that causes the upper back section to become inoperable and non-adjustable when the emergency mode function is enabled. This prevents adjustments to the upper back section during emergency situations.

All units with serial numbers manufactured before November 14, 2024, are affected nationwide. Healthcare facilities using these devices should contact Baxter Healthcare Corporation for further guidance.
