Baxter Healthcare released 5 Spectrum IQ infusion pumps (model 3570009) without completing required safety tests, including tests of the occlusion alarm that alerts users to blockages. The pumps were distributed in Ohio. No injuries have been reported.

Baxter Healthcare's Sterile Water for Irrigation 250 mL bottles may contain small plastic particles that came loose from the bottle rim and entered the solution. This affects lot G171359 with an expiration date of 05/31/2027. No injuries have been reported.

Baxter Healthcare has recalled certain SIGMA Spectrum infusion pumps (model 35700BAX2) because they may contain defective grease on internal gears. This defective grease does not lubricate properly, which can cause premature wear of the pump mechanism and lead to the pump delivering too much medication or allowing medication to flow freely without stopping.

Replacement bladder kit for the Welch Allyn two-piece reusable blood pressure cuff may contain a Large Adult size bladder rather than a Thigh size bladder in the replacement kits.

Some Welch Allyn SureTemp Plus thermometer oral probes were incorrectly programmed with rectal probe settings. These affected probes may display temperatures that are lower than actual body temperature, which could delay treatment of fever or infection.
