Hospira Inc.: Plum A+ Infusion Pumps Recalled for Unrestricted Flow Risk

Agency Publication Date: January 11, 2012

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 467 Plum A+ Single Channel Infusion Pumps intended for veterinary use are being recalled because the internal regulator closer may not seat correctly. This defect can prevent the pump from automatically stopping the flow of fluids or medication when the pump door is opened. If the manual clamp is not closed before opening the cassette door, a patient could receive an unintended and unrestricted flow of medication.

Risk

The incorrect seating of the regulator closer fails to engage the safety mechanism that stops fluid flow. This can cause the rapid, uncontrolled administration of fluids or drugs, which poses a serious risk of overdose or injury to animals being treated.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your device by checking for the 'Plum A+ Single Channel Infusion Pump for Veterinary Use Only' label and looking for list number 60529.
  2. Immediately verify that the manual flow clamp is engaged before opening the cassette door on any Plum A+ pump to prevent potential unrestricted flow.
  3. If you suspect your device is malfunctioning or if the regulator closer appears improperly seated, stop using the pump for critical medication delivery and contact your supervisor or the manufacturer.
  4. Contact Hospira Inc. (now ICU Medical Inc.) at their Lake Forest, Illinois location to report affected units and receive further technical guidance.
  5. Consult with a veterinarian or healthcare professional regarding any animals that may have been affected by an incorrect flow rate from these pumps.
  6. For additional questions regarding this veterinary device recall, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
