Plain-English summary
ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling LifeShield Drug Library Management (DLM) and LifeShield Infusion Safety Software Suite v2.1 and v2.2. The software has been distributed worldwide, including to 12 facilities in the United States (in the states of California, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia) and 3 locations outside the United States (including the Philippines).
The company has identified two software defects in the Drug Library Management system. First, the DLM software does not allow users to create percentage dose rate or rate change values with certain limits, which could potentially result in over-delivery of medication to patients. Second, an unauthorized user may be able to modify and approve a drug library, potentially leading to incorrect program parameters being used for therapy.
Facilities using this software should contact ICU Medical, Inc. for information about updates or remediation. Healthcare providers should review their drug library settings and access controls to ensure patient safety.
