Action the firm took

Baxter mailed Urgent Device Correction letters dated 2/10/05 to the domestic accounts on 2/10/05 via first class mail, to the attention of the Director of Nursing, advising them of the following hardware problems and software anomalies and providing workarounds for each. There are potential failures of the pump due to upstream occlusion alarms, electro-static discharge, Key-Only security mode (previously covered by letter dated 4/10/02), system error 32 or 33 codes, history printout errors and fluid volume in 'Use Previous Rx' when priming through the pump. The accounts were advised that as soon as revised software and hardware is available, Baxter would modify the pumps at no additional charge to the consignee.
