B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling 10,655 Infusomat Large Volume Pump systems, including both wireless and non-wireless battery pack models. The recall was initiated because the device may sound an upstream occlusion alarm when no actual blockage exists, causing the pump to stop delivering medication. This defect is particularly dangerous when high-risk medications are being infused, as an interruption in treatment can lead to hemodynamic instability, medical emergencies, or death. These pumps were distributed nationwide across the United States and in Canada.
The device's sensor may incorrectly detect a blockage in the IV line, causing the infusion to stop abruptly. This interruption in medication delivery can cause a patient's vital signs to become unstable, potentially leading to permanent organ damage or life-threatening complications.
