Hospira Inc. is recalling 467 Plum A+ Single Channel Infusion Pumps designed for veterinary use because the volume control knob on the back of the device may be installed incorrectly. On affected units, turning the knob clockwise increases the alarm volume instead of decreasing it as stated in the operating manual. This defect involves list number 60529 and was distributed to veterinary facilities in 20 states.
If an operator attempts to lower the alarm volume by following the manual's instructions, they may accidentally increase it, or conversely, fail to make the alarm loud enough to be heard in a noisy environment. This confusion could lead to delayed responses to critical pump alarms during animal medical procedures.
