Approximately 20,443 BD Pyxis MedStation ES, Anesthesia Station ES, and MedStation ES Tower units are being recalled due to a software defect that can cause the machines to freeze or crash. These automated dispensing cabinets, which use software versions 1.4.x, 1.5.x, or 1.6.x on Windows 10, may experience random application failures. This defect can lead to critical delays in patients receiving their prescribed medications and potential loss of important medical data. Healthcare facilities using these models (REF 323, 327, and 352) should contact the manufacturer, CareFusion 303, Inc., immediately for instructions.
When the software hangs or crashes, medical staff are unable to access the automated cabinet to retrieve medications for patients. This interruption in clinical workflow poses a significant risk of treatment delays and potential harm to patients requiring time-sensitive medication.
