The Food and Drug Administration has ordered Baxter International Inc. to recall 200,000 of the company’s Colleague brand pumps, escalating its scrutiny of infusion pumps used primarily in hospitals to deliver fluids to patients. The FDA said the Deerfield, Ill.-based drug and device maker must “recall and destroy” all of its Colleague pumps, saying the action was based on “a long-standing failure” of the company to correct serious problems with them. The FDA said infusion pumps, including Baxter’s Colleague, had caused “persistent safety problems.” In the last five years, the FDA has received more than 56,000 reports of adverse events that included serious injuries and more than 500 deaths. The medical product giant said it worked with the FDA to minimize disruption to hospitals using the Colleague pumps. The company will be offering healthcare facilities the opportunity to exchange the pumps without charge.Baxter will offer to exchange its Sigma Spectrum infusion pumps for the Colleague brand.
Please contact Medical Technology Resources for your infusion pump needs.

Medical Technology Resources donated various medical supplies, including IV extension sets, syringes, needles, gloves, etc., in order to provide the Haiti victims with much needed medical items. Working in conjunction with the Open Hands Disaster Relief, Amy Sheets from the Vineyard Church of Columbus came in to collect a truckload of the donated items. Featured in the picture, Warehouse Manager Fred Frick assists Amy with the loading of the medical supplies.
Here at MTR, we were deeply affected by the tragedy in Haiti. We believe it is important to always give back, not only to our immediate community, but our surrounding neighbors in other countries as well. We know that every little bit helps and we were glad to be a part in supporting this important cause.
