Hospira Inc. is recalling 2,503 Hospira/Abbott Acclaim Encore infusion pumps because of reports that the door assembly can break. The Acclaim Encore pump is used to deliver essential fluids, blood components, and nutrition to patients. If the door assembly is damaged, it may not hold the tubing correctly, which can lead to unrestricted fluid flow or prevent the pump from operating at all. This recall affects various serial numbers under List Number 12569 sold nationwide across the United States.
A broken door assembly can prevent the pump's tubing from being seated properly, which may result in unrestricted flow of medicine or fluids into a patient, potentially leading to over-infusion. Additionally, if the door cannot be closed, the pump will fail to operate, which could delay critical treatments.
Contact ICU Medical (Hospira) for investigation and resolution of broken door assemblies.
