Hospira Inc. is recalling 467 Plum A+ Infusion System pumps because a critical internal part called the distal pressure sensor pin may break. These pumps are multi-function systems used to deliver various fluids and medications to patients. A broken pin can only be identified by a visual inspection and may prevent the pump from correctly detecting blockages in the infusion line, which could lead to incorrect fluid delivery. This recall includes specifically identified serial numbers under List Number 60529.
If the pressure sensor pin breaks, the pump may fail to alert healthcare providers when there is a partial or full blockage in the delivery line. This can result in a delay or interruption of critical therapy, or an unexpected change in the rate of medication delivery, which poses a risk of harm to the patient.
