Baxter has recalled (Class 1 device correction) its Novum IQ large volume pump after becoming aware of the potential for underinfusion following use of the device’s “standby mode” feature, or if the device is powered off with the set loaded. “Keeping the administration set loaded in the pump for an extended period of time may result in an underinfusion on the subsequent infusion due to compression of the set,” a recall notice says. The risk increases when infusing at higher flow rates after longer duration in standby mode or powered off, it says.

The notice says that an underinfusion could lead to the risk of dehydration, inadequate drug therapy and nutrition, as well as insufficient blood infusion. To date, Baxter has reported one serious injury related to the issue.

The Novum IQ Syringe Pump is intended to provide intravenous infusion of parenteral fluids, blood, and blood products to a patient under the direction or supervision of a physician or other certified health care professional.
