Smiths Medical recalls CADD-Solis VIP ambulatory infusion pumps with specific model and serial numbers due to potential air in line detection failure, which may not alarm if air is present in the tubing.
Specific Pumps may exhibit intermittent performance in the AILD (Air in Line Detector) function. If an AILD does not sufficiently discern fluid from air in line, an air in line event may not be recognized by the pump and may not alarm to notify the clinician.
Smiths Medical is recalling certain CADD-Solis VIP ambulatory infusion pumps that may not properly detect air in the tubing, risking undetected air events. This could lead to unsafe infusion conditions if the pump fails to alert the user.
The pump's Air in Line Detector (AILD) may fail to recognize air in the tubing, meaning the pump won't alarm when air is present. This could lead to unsafe infusion conditions if the pump doesn't detect air buildup.
Patients using the recalled pumps for medical infusion therapy are at risk. Healthcare providers and caregivers who use these pumps should check their equipment against the listed model and serial numbers.
Check the pump's model number (a. 21-2120-0105-02L, b. 21-2120-0105-03L, c. 21-2120-0105-06L, etc.) and serial numbers listed in the recall notice. The affected pumps are identified by specific model numbers and serial numbers provided in the recall.
Compare your pump's model number and serial number against the list of affected models and serial numbers provided in the recall notice.
No, but you should check if your pump is affected by comparing its model and serial numbers to the list provided in the recall notice.
