Baxter Healthcare Corporation has recalled 6 Spectrum IQ Infusion Pumps (Product Code 3570009) because an internal mechanical component may fail prematurely. A grease applied to the device's motor gears and cam can break down quickly, leading to wear that causes the pump to deliver more medication than intended. This resulting "excessive therapy" could pose serious health risks to patients depending on the medication being delivered.
The breakdown of gear grease leads to premature wear of the mechanism assembly, which can cause the pump to malfunction and deliver too much medication or fluid. This excessive therapy can lead to medication overdose or other infusion-related complications.
