What Happened?
On April 7, 2025, a Missouri news outlet reported serious safety issues relating to inaccurate infusion rates with Baxter’s Novum IQ Large Volume Pump (“Novum LVP”), a device used for the controlled delivery of intravenous fluids, based on information from a whistleblower at a local hospital system. The whistleblower claimed that “patients should not be being treated with these pumps. These pumps are not safe.” The report led to the hospital system’s removal of all Novum LVPs.
Then, on April 24, 2025, Baxter sent warning letters to customers regarding a potential underinfusion risk associated with the Novum LVP, disclosing only one serious injury linked to this issue. On July 14, 2025, the Company issued a second warning letter repeating the underinfusion risk along with an additional overinfusion risk, revealing that it had received 79 reports of serious injury and two reports of patient deaths related to the Novum LVP. The FDA subsequently classified these issues as a Class I recall, its most serious designation, reflecting a risk of severe injury or death.
Then, on July 31, 2025, Baxter announced that it was “voluntarily and temporarily [pausing] shipments and planned installations of the Novum LVP” and that the Company was “unable to currently commit to an exact timing for resuming shipment and installation for Novum LVPs.”
On this news, Baxter’s stock price fell $6.24, or 22.4%, to close at $21.61 per share on July 31, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
