Plain-English summary
The Metrix Company is recalling 93 units of the AUTOCOMP6 XP High Speed Compounder (REF 58810). The recall was initiated after an issue was identified following a redesign of the auto-compounding device. The devices are unable to meet the designed accuracy specifications when dispensing medication into bags.
Upon reviewing the initial design, it was determined that dispensing volume validation was not properly conducted. Consequently, none of the compounders currently on the market can meet the stated specifications. The affected devices were distributed to medical facilities in 21 U.S. states and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as internationally to Australia, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
The recall number is Z-2258-2016. The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or medical facilities beyond the recall notice itself.
