Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

Baxter Healthcare will be installing new firmware on all Prismaflex control units to address the potential for a small number of these units to exhibit a failure mode with the pump module electronics. The failure mode may result in a Voltage Out of Range malfunction alarm, which causes the device to enter a safe state and become inoperable until it is serviced. Baxter will be releasing new firmware that will prevent the malfunction from occurring.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
