B Braun Medical Inc. is recalling 32,004 Perfusor Space Syringe Pumps because they are no longer compatible with Cardinal Health Monoject syringes following manufacturing changes. Using these syringes with the affected pumps can cause the device to fail to recognize the syringe, leading to serious performance issues such as delivering too much or too little medication. This recall affects five different models of the Perfusor Space system distributed nationwide and in Canada. B Braun is updating its instructions to reflect that Cardinal Health Monoject syringes should no longer be used with these specific pumps.
Incompatible syringes can lead to pump malfunctions including overdosing, underdosing, therapy delays, or failures in occlusion alarms. These issues can result in significant patient harm, especially when delivering critical life-sustaining medications.
Stop using incompatible syringes and update instruction protocols.
