Product Description

Baxter SIGMA Spectrum INFUSION PUMP with Master Drug Library, V8 Spectrum Infusion Pump, Product Code 35700BAX2, Unique Device Identifier GTIN 00085412091570, Rx ONLY -- Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Medina, NY 14103 --- NOTE: The speakers are a part of the rear case assembly located in the back of the infusion pump. The speaker is intended to generate audible tones during each keystroke, and during alarm conditions. However, some speakers have a variation in their internal wiring that increases the potential for the speaker to fail prematurely. Spectrum Infusion Pumps with non-functional speakers will continue to display visual alarm indications, and will otherwise continue to operate as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.

Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.

What Should You Do?
