Reason
Baxter Healthcare will be installing new firmware on all Prismaflex control units to address the potential for a small number of these units to exhibit a failure mode with the pump module electronics. The failure mode may result in a Voltage Out of Range malfunction alarm, which causes the device to enter a safe state and become inoperable until it is serviced. Baxter will be releasing new firmware that will prevent the malfunction from occurring.
