Plain-English summary
BD Pyxis automated dispensing cabinets in multiple configurations were shipped with socket-outlet power strips. These power strips have not been certified to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) electrical standards for use as a system with the dispensing cabinet devices.
Approximately 3,002 affected units were manufactured between November 2012 and July 2023 and distributed nationwide across the United States. When operated with the noncertified power strips, users may be exposed to leakage currents.
Exposure to these leakage currents could result in varying degrees of harm, ranging from minor electric shock to permanent impairment. Healthcare facilities with affected BD Pyxis units should contact CareFusion 303, Inc. for information on remediation steps and proper certification of power supply components.
