Baxter Healthcare Corporation has recalled approximately 34,754 Spectrum Wireless Battery Modules used with Spectrum V8 and Spectrum IQ infusion pumps. A software issue can prevent these modules from automatically sending critical infusion status information to a hospital's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. This failure occurs in facilities where the infusion system is integrated with the EMR, potentially leading to incomplete patient records. Consumers should contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider for further instructions.
The software defect causes a failure in auto-documentation, meaning medical staff may not see real-time infusion data in the patient's electronic chart, which could lead to medical errors or delayed clinical decisions.
