Smiths Medical ASD Inc. is recalling approximately 138,039 CADD-Solis Li-ion Rechargeable Battery Packs because they may overheat and melt. This issue is caused by a potential short circuit in a capacitor within the battery pack, which can also make the battery charging circuit stop working. The recall affects the battery packs both when sold individually and when included as a component of various CADD Solis Ambulatory Infusion Systems used to deliver medications to patients.
A short circuit in the battery can cause the plastic casing to melt, creating a fire hazard. If the battery pack fails, it may also prevent the infusion system from charging or operating, which could lead to an interruption in life-sustaining medical treatment.
