The FDA announced on May 22, that Baxter Abacus TPN Calculation Software is recalled (Class I) because software errors may cause toxic/overdose symptoms. The Abacus Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) Calculation Software is a Windows-based software application used by pharmacists to calculate or order TPN formulas for the nutritional needs of patients who cannot eat or drink by mouth.
FDA’s reason for the recall is that software failures can put patients at risk for toxic or overdose symptoms including fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, or nausea and more severe symptoms like cardiac arrhythmia, pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure and seizures. The symptoms may be life-threatening for high risk patients. The affected products include: ABACUS Total Parenteral Nutrition Calculation Software, v3.1, v3.0, v2.1, and v2.0.
