B Braun recalls Perfusor Space wireless syringe pumps with model 8713031U software due to incompatibility with Cardinal Health Monoject syringes, risking overdose or underdose in medical use.
Perfusor Space Syringe Pump's instructions for use previously identified Monoject syringes as an option for use. However, changes to manufacturing to Cardinal Health Monoject syringes may result in issues with recognition, compatibility, and pump performance, such as overdose, underdose, delay in therapy, delay in occlusion alarms, and delay in feeding. Cardinal Health Monoject syringes are not compatible with the indicated pumps.
B Braun is recalling Perfusor Space wireless syringe pumps with model number 8713031U software because they may not work properly with Cardinal Health Monoject syringes. This could lead to incorrect medication dosing, potentially causing overdose or underdose in medical treatments.
The pumps were designed to work with specific syringes, but changes in manufacturing for Cardinal Health Monoject syringes cause compatibility issues. This can lead to incorrect medication dosing, such as overdose or underdose, which may delay critical therapy or cause harm.
Healthcare providers using these pumps with Monoject syringes are most at risk. Patients receiving infusion therapy with this specific pump model may experience dosing errors.
Check for the model number 8713031U on the pump's label. The software version should also be 8713031U. These pumps were sold with Cardinal Health Monoject syringes for infusion therapy.
Ensure the syringe is compatible with the Perfusor Space pump by verifying it is not a Cardinal Health Monoject syringe.
The recall occurs because changes to Cardinal Health Monoject syringes may cause compatibility issues with the Perfusor Space pump, leading to potential overdosing or underdosing of medication.
Check if your syringes are compatible with the pump. If using Cardinal Health Monoject syringes, switch to a compatible syringe type as the pump may not function correctly.
