Action

On August 4, 2020, the firm notified affected customers via mail, "Urgent Medical Device Recall", indicating the following: Actions for Clinical Users: Clinicians should remove the pump from service and send to Biomedical Engineering if the Pump Module keypad becomes unresponsive or stuck. If a critical medication is being administered, continue the infusion until it is safe to replace the Pump Module. In an urgent situation, clinicians can close the roller clamp on the IV administration set to stop an infusion. Actions for Cleaning Personnel: Follow the cleaning instructions provided in the current Directions for Use to minimize the potential for fluid ingress during cleaning. - Do not use a cloth that drips. Be sure to wring out the cleaning cloth to squeeze out excess fluid. - Do not spray fluids directly onto the device. Actions for Biomedical Engineering: Inspect all uninstalled Pump Module Door Assembly Replacement Kits noted above. All kits dated prior to January 25, 2019 are affected. If affected kits are found upon inspection, dispose per facility guidelines. An example of how to identify the date on the keypad is provided below: - Contact BD at 1-800-482-4822 to order replacement Pump Module keypad kits at no charge (either discarded by your facility or needed for remediation of the Pump Module), - Contact the BD Recall Support Center at 1-888-562-6018 to schedule remediation of the pump module at no charge if unable to perform at your location. - Maintain a list of all Pump Module serial numbers remediated to provide to BD upon completion of the activity.
