What the company is doing

Baxter issued an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" to its consignees on 08/04/2025 via USPS first class mail. The notice described the problem, hazard involved, and actions to be Taken by customers: 1. Users should rely on their clinical judgment. When providing patient care involving high risk medications and/or critical illness, users should consider utilizing an alternate pump, if available and appropriate for the patient's treatment. 2. If an alternate pump is not available or appropriate for patient care you may continue to use the Novum IQ LVP and Novum IQ Syringe Pump consistent with the following actions: - If a blank Run screen is displayed during an infusion on the Novum IQ LVP, the user should open the door, press the tubing into load point 3, then load point 4, to turn the light green, and close the door. If a blank Run screen is displayed during an infusion on the Novum IQ Syringe Pump, the user should unload, then reload the syringe.
