Action
Consignees were notified on about 05/07/2024 via traceable mail with an "UPDATED URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter to the original recall was expanding. Consignees were instructed to replace batteries the first time the pump issues a replace battery alarm. Continued use of pumps on battery after the first instance of the replace battery alarm will reduce the time from a low battery alarm to a depleted battery/infusion stopping. Additionally, pumps should be kept plugged into AC power, closely monitor if using battery power, have a backup pump available, and do not use a replacement battery with corroded battery terminals. Customers were also requested to ensure all users or potential users of these pumps are immediately made aware of this notification and proposed mitigations, and to complete and return the provided Response Form. For distributors, if the affected products have been potentially distributed, to immediately forward the notification to customers.
