Plain-English summary
Smiths Medical ASD Inc. is recalling certain Medfusion 3500, 4000, 3010, and 3010A syringe infusion pumps that received replacement main boards between April 2012 and June 2015.

The affected pumps may experience intermittent errors with the Supercap power-on self-test (POST) and backup audible alarm systems. These alarm errors occur at startup when the pump performs its self-test routine and may appear outside the pump's warranty period.
The affected pumps were distributed nationwide throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as to government, military, and foreign customers. This recall was initiated in 2015.
