ANVISA will be accompanying the actions that will be carried out through the company with regard to the entire process of correction and replacement of said product. - /// --- Brasília September 5, 2005 - 5:37 pm - / - Regarding the corrective field action that Baxter has been carrying out, the company informs:. Pumps active in Brazil: 4,761. Pumps already rated: 2.586. Pumps with indication of defects: 53 - (2.05%). Remainder: 2.175 Further informed that it sent communication to 136 clients, returned from 43 receipt indications, with a forecast for the end of the evaluations for September 30, 2005. - /// --- Brasilia September 12, 2005 - Letter Considering that the pumps, when presenting certain fault codes, immediately trigger the visual and audible alarms, alerting Nursing, and considering the initial tests showing a relatively low incidence of pumps that have been affected so far, we are reading the memory register (the pump stores the last 1000 events) to identify certain fault codes associated with that part. Once one of these codes has been identified, the pump is picked up (withdrawn and serviced). This action is being taken because the existence of any of these codes increases the possibility that it will occur again. To date, we have completed the verification in approximately 68% of installed pumps with an incidence of 1.7%. This incidence is in line with the average we have found in other countries. Our goal is to complete (100%) the checks in up to 3 weeks (late September). At the same time, a new electronic card and new software are being validated to replace the current ones. This action, board change and software, should be started as of December 2005.

Colleague Infusion Pumps are designed to alarm, stop infusion, and display the error code on if an abnormal situation is detected. As this situation may occur during infusion, it is imperative that institutions have a contingency plan to mitigate any interruption during infusion therapy (eg, a reserve pump available). In addition, you should consider not using these pumps in a situation where pump replacement is not available or when a delay in therapy could be life threatening.
