What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Hospira Inc. is recalling 978 GemStar Power Supplies, which are accessories for the GemStar Infusion Pump. The power supplies are two-piece assembled switching units that convert alternating current (AC) line input voltage of 120 or 240 V to an output of 3.3 Volts DC for the device.
The recall was initiated because the GemStar Infusion pump may not receive direct current (DC) power from the power supply. In one reported instance, smoke was observed, and the GemStar pump was operating on battery power while connected to the 3 volt DC power supply.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and various international countries. The specific lot numbers involved are 25283G1, 26286G1, 26287G1, 27292G1, 27294G1, 27295G1, and 27296G1, with a list number of 13026.
