Plain-English summary
Baxter Healthcare Corp. is recalling 19,380 units of the Mini-Infuser Model 300XL Multispeed Infusion Pump. The affected products include product codes 2M8171 and 2M8171R, covering all serial numbers and including refurbished units. These devices are prescription battery-operated syringe infusion pumps intended for the controlled rate delivery of small volume parenteral fluids as prescribed by a physician.
The recall is due to a defect in the Mini-Infuser Battery Spring, which has a flat contact measuring .53 inches ±.01 inches on the inner diameter of the spring coil. If a battery with the minimum contact diameter of .51 inches is placed on this spring, an electrical circuit will not be completed, and the Mini-Infuser will not operate. This failure mode is related to specifications in IEC 60086-2 and ANSI 08 standards.
The recall is classified as Class III by the FDA, indicating that use of or exposure to the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. No specific instructions for consumers are provided in the source text, but the device is intended for medical use under physician prescription.
