Plain-English summary
CareFusion 303, Inc. is recalling BD PYXIS MEDBANK TWR MN CR-6HH-1FH-3FM-P automated medication dispensing cabinets containing software version 3.9.1.9. The recall is due to a software defect that causes incorrect bin information to be printed on medication restock labels.
When pharmacy staff print a restock label for a medication stored in the cabinet, the label may indicate an incorrect bin location. This mislabeling could lead to staff selecting and dispensing the wrong medication during restocking operations.
Five units of the affected model have been distributed nationwide across the United States. Healthcare facilities using the affected equipment should contact CareFusion immediately for a software correction.
