Hospira Inc. is recalling approximately 11,362 Hospira and Abbott Acclaim Encore infusion pumps used to deliver fluids, blood, and nutrients. The recall was issued because the door assembly on these pumps can break, preventing the infusion tubing from being seated correctly. If the door cannot be closed or secured, the device may allow fluids to flow unrestricted to the patient, which could lead to serious medical complications. Consumers should stop using pumps that show signs of damage and contact the manufacturer or a healthcare provider immediately.
A broken door assembly prevents the pump from properly securing the administration tubing. This failure can result in uncontrolled, unrestricted flow of medication or fluids (over-infusion), which may lead to significant injury or life-threatening conditions for the patient.
