Smiths Medical recalls Medfusion Syringe Pump 3010 Series models that may misidentify loaded medication syringes, causing incomplete programming. Affected units include specific model numbers and product codes.
Certain Medfusion Syringe Pump Models, Series 3100, 3500, and 4000, may not recognize or may misidentify loaded medication syringes. The inability of a pump to recognize a syringe (i.e. the size of the syringe is unknown to the pump) results in an inability to complete pump programming. Misidentification of a syringe is where the pump misinterprets the syringe size.
Smiths Medical is recalling certain Medfusion Syringe Pump 3010 Series models because they may not recognize or misidentify loaded medication syringes. This can prevent the pump from completing programming, potentially leading to incorrect medication delivery.
The pumps may not recognize the size of loaded syringes or misidentify them, which prevents proper programming. This could result in incorrect medication delivery if the pump fails to complete programming after a syringe is loaded.
Healthcare professionals using the Medfusion Syringe Pump 3010 Series for medication administration are most at risk. Patients receiving treatments via these pumps could be affected if the pump misidentifies syringes.
Check for product codes starting with 3010, 3010A with model numbers listed in the recall notice. The pumps are sold for medical use in critical care, anesthesia, and pediatric settings.
Review the model number on your pump to see if it matches the listed product codes (e.g., M03055, M02396).
Ensure the pump can recognize the syringe size by checking if programming completes after loading medication.
