CME America Recalls NeoThrive Syringe Pumps Due to Motor Wear

CME America is recalling 4,182 NeoThrive syringe pumps because motor wear may cause under-infusion without alarms, and cleaning fluids may damage hardware.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II. The hazard involves a medical device failure (under-infusion without alarm) that poses a significant risk of harm to patients, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

CME America, LLC is recalling 4,182 units of the NeoThrive T-Syringe Pump. These devices are used for the infusion of medications or fluids requiring continuous or intermittent delivery at precisely-controlled infusion rates through clinically acceptable routes of administration, including intravenous, subcutaneous, percutaneous, intra-arterial, epidural, and intra-operative sites.

The recall is issued for two reasons. First, wear and tear of the pump motor block mechanism may cause under-infusion situations without the pump alarm being generated. Second, cracks in the pump hardware may be damaged by fluid used during the cleaning process.

The affected pumps were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in Canada. Specific U.S. states listed in the distribution pattern include AZ, AK, CA, CO, CT, FL, ID, IL, KS, LA, MA, MI, MO, MT, NC, NE, NV, OH, OK, OR, PA, TN, TX, WA, and WI. The affected model is the NeoThrive with Part Number 100-101PSL.
