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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device defect that may result in reduced drug delivery and inadequate pain relief, representing a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported, consistent with the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Arrow International Inc is recalling the Arrow AutoFuser Disposable Pain Control Pump (Product MT5060XLYK5 CP) due to a potential defect in the fill port connector. The recall affects 3 units with specific lot codes 74F1700794, 74J1700676, and 74J1700190 that were distributed nationwide.

The recall is being conducted because possible cracks on the body of the fill port connector may result in a leak. If a leak is identified while the user is filling the pump, it may cause a delay while an alternative pump is located. If the leak goes undetected, it may result in a reduced level of drug delivery to the patient, leading to lower pain relief than prescribed or expected. This may necessitate the administration of additional analgesic drugs.

Users of the affected pumps should check their product codes against the listed codes. If the product matches the recalled items, they should stop using the pump and contact Arrow International Inc for further instructions.
