Baxter Recalls Automix Nutrition Pumps

FDA announced in August that Baxter Healthcare (Deerfield, IL) had initiated a Class 1 recall of its Automix Automated Nutrition Compounder Systems due to incorrect key press responses caused by fluid entry into the device’s keypads.

“Fluids, such as water, cleaning solutions, and nutrition source solutions, may enter into the keypad of the Automix control module and may cause the Automix to generate an incorrect device response to an Automix operator's key press,” an agency notice said. The resulting intermittent electrical failures may cause the device to pump nutrition solution when not programmed to do so, or they may cause it to stop compounding before it has finished appropriately mixing the Total Parenteral Nutrition solution, it said.
