ICU Medical is recalling approximately 3,840 counterfeit CSB batteries used with various Plum Infusion Systems because they were not manufactured, tested, or validated by the original equipment manufacturer. These unauthorized batteries, distributed by OSI Batteries, have been reported to fail to hold a charge, which can cause the infusion pump to display battery replacement messages earlier than expected or stop working entirely. The recall affects batteries used with Plum 360, Plum A+, and Plum A+3 Infusion Systems. No injuries have been reported to date, though there are reports of the batteries failing to hold their charge.
The counterfeit batteries may fail to hold a charge, leading to sudden power failure of the infusion system. If the pump stops working during a critical medication delivery, it could result in treatment interruption and serious patient harm.
Affected batteries are identified by the ABSENCE of an ICU Medical Test Label and CE Mark on the label.
