Why it was recalled

Baxter Healthcare is recalling certain ExactaMix automated compounding devices due to the complementary metal oxide semi-conductor battery failure resulting in resetting the internal clock of the device to midnight December 31, 2010.

FDA root cause category: Nonconforming Material/Component

What the company is doing

On 6/04/13, customers were notified by 1st class mailing with mitigating instructions including reminding customers that the battery failure results in a failure of the ExactaMix system to alert the user to replace the disposable set after 24 hours of use. Users should not rely on the alert to trigger the daily replacement of disposable sets. Users should also confirm the correct time and date at the setup of each use. If the compounder displays an incorrect time and date, customers are to contact Baxter Technical Support.
