Z-2223-2026

Ongoing Class I Medical devices

Recall started
6 May 2026
Reason
Fresenius Kabi has been made aware via customer complaints that dropping or severe jarring of the Ivenix LVP may cause damage to internal components that may not be apparent or readily visible and the devices therefore remained in service. More specifically, drops or jarring on a hard surface can cause the touchscreen input cable to loosen, resulting in unintended touchscreen behavior on the LVP, including random screen touches and/or lack of screen responsiveness to user input. Under the reported failure condition, unintended touch inputs may register at arbitrary screen locations without user interaction. These inputs occur intermittently and without a predictable pattern.

Reason

May lead to delay in therapy. 2) Alert is not annunciated informing the clinician that the bolus cannot be delivered when the entered bolus dose exceeds the Care Profile Hard Rate Max limit and Rapid Bolus is selected. May lead to over infusion. Both issues were resolved in all fielded product in software version 5.8.0, which was installed in affected units May thru August 2023.
