What is the problem?

From April, 2006 through February, 2007, Baxter distributed 534 pumps to 170 customers (including distributors, medical facilities, retail companies and one institution) within the U.S.

On June 21, 2007, Baxter contacted their customers informing them that the company discovered, during ongoing quality control processes, that repair, test and inspection data sheets, including electrical safety data, were falsified. As a result, it may be possible that pumps sent to be serviced, repaired, or corrected were returned without service being performed on them. This may result in over infusion, under infusion, failure to detect an upstream or downstream occlusion, electrical shock hazard, failure to detect air in line and malfunctions where the pump will stop infusing and result in an interruption of therapy that can result in death.
