Hospira Inc. is recalling 467 Plum A+ Infusion Systems due to reports that the distal pressure sensor can drift out of calibration. This defect can cause the device to stop delivering medication and display various error codes such as E180, E181, or E346. These pumps are used in healthcare environments to deliver parenteral, enteral, or epidural fluids. Consumers should identify affected units by checking the serial numbers on the back of the device.
If the pressure sensor loses its calibration, the infuser may fail to deliver critical fluids or medications as programmed. This could result in a delay or interruption of therapy, which may lead to serious health complications depending on the patient's condition and the medication being administered.
