Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 34,524 units of the Novum IQ LVP Infusion System (REF 40700BAXUS) because of a software-related defect that can lead to patients receiving too little medication. The issue occurs specifically after the pump is placed in "standby mode" or when the device is powered off while the infusion set is still loaded. No injuries have been reported in the current documentation.
The software error prevents the pump from delivering the programmed amount of fluid or medicine, resulting in underinfusion. This can lead to a delay in treatment or inadequate dosing, which may cause serious health complications for patients depending on their medical condition and the type of medication being delivered.
Recall #: Z-1767-2025; Quantity: 34,524 units
