Hospira Inc.: Plum A+ Infusion System Recalled for Potential Therapy Interruption

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hospira Inc. is recalling 467 Plum A+ Infusion Systems due to a software issue that causes an 'E321' error code. This error occurs when the device is plugged into AC power but fails to fully recharge its battery within eight hours. When this error triggers during an infusion, the pump will automatically stop delivering fluids or medication, which can lead to a serious delay or interruption in treatment. This recall affects various serial numbers under List Number 60529 that were distributed nationwide.

Risk

The software triggers a complete stop of fluid delivery if it detects a battery charging delay, even while the unit is plugged into a wall outlet. This interruption can cause critical delays in the administration of life-sustaining parenteral, enteral, or epidural medications.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the back or side of your Plum A+ Infusion System to see if the List Number is 60529.
  2. Identify your device's serial number and compare it against the affected list, which includes 467 specific units ranging from 14315003 through 14315491.
  3. If your device is among the affected serial numbers, contact Hospira (now ICU Medical Inc.) or your healthcare administrator immediately to arrange for a service update or replacement.
  4. If an E321 error occurs during use, immediately switch to a backup pump to ensure there is no interruption in the patient's therapy.
  5. Contact your healthcare provider or Hospira at 1-800-441-4100 for further instructions regarding the repair or return of affected pumps.
  6. For additional information or questions, call the FDA Veterinary Medical Center at 1-888-463-6332.
