Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling six Spectrum IQ Infusion Pumps (Product Code 3570009) distributed to Arizona and Florida. The device's motor mechanism uses grease on the cam and motor gears that may break down prematurely.

Baxter has identified that certain pumps were released with grease that breaks down quickly. The breakdown results in insufficient or ineffective lubrication on the cam, leading to potential premature wear of the mechanism assembly. This wear could result in excessive medication delivery to patients.

The affected pumps are identified by serial numbers: 3815255, 3815261, 3815265, 3815266, 3815267, and 3815271.
