Plain-English summary
CareFusion 303, Inc. is recalling BD Pyxis MedStation ES, BD Pyxis Anesthesia Station ES, and BD Pyxis CII Safe ES automated dispensing cabinets running software versions 1.7.0 through 1.7.4. Approximately 1,474 units have been distributed in the United States.
The affected software experiences download failures that result in partial loss of patient information and partial loss of patient transaction data, seen as server upload processing errors. The system may display outdated or incorrect information about patient medications.

These errors could lead to allergic reactions, dosing errors, or unintended medication exposure.
