Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 75 Exactamix Pro 1200 and 2400 compounding devices due to a software error in versions 2.0.8 and 2.1.8. This specific software flaw occurs when using the "Use Some Overfill" feature, which can cause the device to deliver redundant amounts of ingredients. The recall affects 8 units of the Pro 1200 model and 67 units of the Pro 2400 model distributed across 22 states. Because these devices are used to prepare clinical nutrition and medications, an over-delivery of ingredients could lead to serious patient harm.
A software bug triggers the delivery of double the requested overfill volume, leading to potentially dangerous concentrations of ingredients in a patient's prescription. Over-delivery of potent ingredients can cause metabolic imbalances or toxicities, particularly in sensitive patient populations.
