Baxter Colleague Volumetric Pump - DISCONTINUED PRODUCT

17 Jul 2016

Baxter Healthcare Singapore has finally decided to discontinued the product in Singapore starting May 2016 with sale of these pumps limited to 'recondition' sets until all current old stocks have been depleted. This is may be a blessing in disguise as throughout all these years, these pumps have been fraught with many problems and has not gone away ever since.

I remembered since year 2000, where the beginning of technical problems started to surface. It started with the pump motor which Baxter claimed to originate from its contractor where they started to source for another new contractor. This has taken a while before they fixed the problem.'

Next came the display problem and again the usual familiar story of having an inferior contractor and again the sourcing started. This go on and on with hospital spending hours and hours of our time trying to fix the defective displays.

The problems continue..............battery, pumphead, etc.

Hospital management may need to decide if they are staying with such a pump to continue with the management of fluids in the hospital. There were trying periods where technically the Biomeds struggle to meet clinical needs.
