Hospira Inc.: Plum XLD Infusion Pumps Recalled for Non-Functioning Audible Alarms

Agency Publication Date: August 5, 2011

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hospira Inc. is recalling approximately 449 Hospira Plum XLD Single Channel Infusion Pumps intended for veterinary use. The recall was initiated because these pumps may fail to sound an audible alarm when the audio level is set to the 'low' setting. This defect means that veterinary staff may not be alerted to critical pump conditions, such as occlusions or delivery errors, which could interrupt treatment for animals. These specific pumps were distributed nationwide and are identified by list number 12570.

Risk

If the audible alarm fails to sound while on a low volume setting, caregivers may not be alerted to infusion problems or device failures. This can lead to a delay or interruption in the delivery of life-sustaining medications or fluids to animal patients.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your device by checking for the Hospira Plum XLD Single Channel Infusion Pump label and verifying the list number 12570.
  2. Check the audio level settings on your device; be aware that alarms may not sound if the device is set to the 'low' audio level.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or Hospira Inc. directly to discuss necessary repairs or software updates for your affected infusion pumps.
  4. If you have questions regarding this recall, contact Hospira Inc. at their corporate headquarters at 275 N Field Dr, Lake Forest, Illinois, or call the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-276-9300.
