Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC LVP software of the Ivenix Infusion System recall: Potential software anomaly that can cause the pump to report a false

Recall published 5 months ago

Potential software anomaly that can cause the pump to report a false battery-health value (typically 69%) and trigger a battery-depletion alarm that will shut down the pump unless it is reconnected to AC mains power.

The hazard: Device malfunction

This is a device recall, and in FDA language that usually means a correction rather than a removal: the device stays in use and the manufacturer fixes, patches or re-instructs.

What the notice says: Potential software anomaly that can cause the pump to report a false battery-health value (typically 69%) and trigger a battery-depletion alarm that will shut down the pump unless it is reconnected to AC mains power.

Why it matters: The device may not perform as intended — a mechanical failure, a software defect, an inaccurate reading, or an alarm that does not sound. For a device someone depends on, the consequence of the failure is usually worse than the failure itself.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If the device supports a vital function, do not disable or remove it on your own judgement. Contact the clinician who prescribed or fitted it, and use the back-up arrangement they gave you. Go to an emergency department if the symptoms the device is meant to manage are getting worse, or if an implanted device gives an unexpected alarm or shock.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.
