Recommended Action

Per FDA guidance

Urgent Device Correction letters dated 9/1/04 were sent to all U.S. Baxter affected customers on the same date, to the attention of the Director of Nursing. The facilities were advised of the free-flow incident and as a result that Baxter wanted to heighten awareness of the proper clinical procedures for loading the sets into the infusion systems using these Lock Boxes with the 6060 Multi-Therapy Pump. Baxter''s investigation into the event confirmed that the 6060 pump door was left open after the lock box was attached to the pump. Baxter provided copie of the instructions for use of the lock box and pages from the 6060 pump operator''s manual which outline the proper procedure for loading the sets into the the pump and the pump into the lock box. The accounts were requested to complete and fax back to Baxter the enclosed response form, erifying receipt of the letter, confirming that the information has been provided to all users of the infusion system, and allowing Baxter to order and ship labels for the lock box and revised instructions for use to the facility. Any questions were directed to 1-800-843-78867.
