Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 149 units of the Novum IQ Syringe Infusion System (Model REF 40800BAXUS) because a component called a gasket may have been installed incorrectly. This manufacturing defect could allow cleaning fluids or accidental IV fluid spills to leak into the pump's internal electronics. While no injuries have been reported, a pump failure could stop the delivery of critical medications to a patient. These units were distributed to hospitals and healthcare facilities across 19 states between 2022 and 2024.
An incorrectly installed gasket can allow liquids to enter the device's internal casing. This fluid ingress can cause the infusion pump to malfunction or fail completely, which may lead to an interruption or delay in the delivery of life-sustaining medications.
Quantity affected: 149 units.
