Baxter Signs Consent Decree for Infusion PumpsBaxter Signs Consent Decree for Infusion Pumps

Baxter Healthcare Corp. has signed a consent decree with FDA to stop making and distributing two brands of infusion pumps until manufacturing deficiencies are corrected. The models are the Colleague Volumetric Infusion Pump and the Syndeo Patient Controlled Analgesic Syringe Pump. The action stems from a June 2005 inspection that found inadequate management controls over quality system operations and CAPA procedures, as well as design defects.
