Reason for recall

After fluid ingress into the keypad of the AUTOMIX Compounder's (AUTOMIX) control module, the AUTOMIX may generate an incorrect device response to an AUTOMIX operator's key press. Also, the AUTOMIX system may experience an intermittent electrical failure, in which unexpected pump motor operations will occur. Also, the AUTOMIX system may intermittently experience an electrical failure where the compounder may stop compounding without an alarm and not be detected by the user.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
