CareFusion is recalling Alaris PC units 8000 and 8015 with specific software versions because software errors might stop insulin therapy or cause incorrect medication concentrations. This could lead to serious health risks if the device fails to deliver proper treatment.
The software errors can cause the device to stop delivering insulin, miss low battery warnings, or show incorrect medication concentrations. This might lead to missed doses or improper treatment levels, which could harm health.
People using CareFusion Alaris insulin pumps with the recalled software versions are affected. Those with diabetes who rely on these pumps for insulin delivery are most at risk.
