In this article:

The FDA issued a Class I recall, the most serious kind of recall, for Baxter International Inc's (NYSE: BAX) Dose IQ safety software used with Spectrum IQ Infusion System.
The Dose IQ safety software allows care providers to create a drug library of pre-programmed dosing information for specific medications delivered into a person's body in controlled amounts using the Spectrum IQ infusion pump.
The recall occurred due to a software defect that may lead to mismatched drug information in drug libraries created using version 9.0.x of the computer-based software.
If the software's drug identifier does not match the drug information on the pump, it will lead to improper drug configuration and causing a delay in therapy, under-infusion, or over-infusion of medication.
There have been 15 complaints, no injuries, and no deaths reported for the issue.
In total, Baxter Healthcare recalled 61 devices since initiating the recall on July 7, 2021.
Price Action: BAX shares closed lower by 0.16% at $73.86 on Thursday.
