B Braun Medical Inc. is expanding a recall for 14 Infusomat Space Infusion System/Large Volume Pumps (Product Code 8713050U). These medical pumps can build up static electricity during use, which may cause internal sensors to malfunction and trigger false alarms for blockages that do not exist. This recall expansion includes specific units sold in Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas.
The buildup of electrostatic charge can cause the pump's sensor to stop working correctly, triggering false downstream and upstream occlusion alarms. This can lead to unexpected interruptions in the delivery of critical medications or fluids, potentially harming patients who require precise and continuous infusion therapy.
Manufacturer-led corrective action for sensor malfunction.
“Label, 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection USP 1000 mL in E3 containers”
