Plain-English summary
The FDA has recalled certain models of the BD Pyxis MedBank CUBIE Replenishment Station, an automated medication dispensing cabinet used in healthcare facilities to manage medication distribution. The recall affects 404 systems distributed across 32 U.S. states.
A software issue causes the cabinet to display an error message stating "Stocking window has passed, or item has been removed from purchase order. Please contact Pharmacy for assistance" when users attempt to restock medications. When this occurs, medications cannot be added to the cabinet and restocking is blocked.
The error message and inability to restock can potentially lead to delays in patient access to medications. Healthcare facilities and pharmacies using the affected models should immediately verify their device status and contact CareFusion 303, Inc. or their healthcare representative for guidance on resolution and medication availability.
