Plain-English summary
The Spectrum IQ Infusion Pump, product code 3570009, UDI-DI 00085412610900, is being recalled for serial numbers 3815255, 3815261, 3815265, 3815266, 3815267 and 3815271. The recall covers 6 units distributed in Arizona and Florida.
Baxter identified that certain pumps may have been released with grease applied to the cam and motor gears that will break down quickly. The breakdown leads to insufficient or ineffective grease on the cam, which could cause premature wear of the mechanism assembly and result in excessive therapy. The FDA classified the action as Class II.
Hospitals holding these serial numbers should remove the affected pumps from service and follow Baxter's instructions for return or replacement.
