ICU Medical Inc. has recalled approximately 157,531 infusion pump batteries and spare battery components used in Plum 360, Plum A+, and Plum A+3 Infusion Systems. The recall was initiated because a manufacturing defect from the battery supplier causes these batteries to lose capacity and runtime much earlier in their lifecycle than expected. This defect can lead to the infusion pump shutting down unexpectedly while in use, which may interrupt the delivery of critical medications. These systems were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and to several foreign countries. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or ICU Medical directly for instructions on battery testing and replacement.
The manufacturing defect causes affected batteries to fail or run out of power prematurely. If a pump stops working during the infusion of life-sustaining medication, it could result in a sudden interruption of therapy, which poses a risk of serious injury or death.
