ICU Medical LifeShield Infusion Safety Software recalled for precision dosing limits
Stop using LifeShield Infusion Safety Software v2.2
ICU Medical's LifeShield Infusion Safety Software v2.2 has a software issue that limits concentration settings to one decimal place instead of three. This may force users to set drug limits differently than the manufacturer recommends, potentially causing patients to receive too much or too little medication.
- Contact ICU Medical immediately if your facility uses LifeShield Infusion Safety Software v2.2 (Product No. 17003-02)
- Do not rely on the Concentration Limits feature until you receive corrected software
- Verify all infusion dosages manually against manufacturer guidelines
- Ask ICU Medical about a software update or patch
Software issue only allows Concentration Limits to be defined to one digit of precision past the decimal point (0.1) instead of three digits (0.001). If the user is unable to use Concentration Limits as intended, they may need to change the limits to something other than what is recommended by the drug manufacturer, which may result in over- or under-delivery.
