Why it was recalled

An issue was identified after a redesign of the auto compounding device. The compounder cannot meet the designed accuracy specification when dispensing into bags. After reviewing the initial design of the device, it was determined the dispensing volume validation was not properly done and none of the compounders on the market can meet the stated specifications.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
