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

Arrow International Inc is recalling 26 units of the Arrow AutoFuser Disposable Pain Control Pump (Product code MVAXL2Y CPNB) due to a potential defect in the fill port connector. The recall covers units distributed nationwide.

The defect involves possible cracks on the body of the fill port connector, which may result in a leak. If a leak is identified while the user is filling the pump, there may be 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 a lower level of pain relief than prescribed or expected. This may result in the need for other, additional analgesic drug administration.

Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the specific lot codes listed in the recall notice and stop using affected units. The agency has classified this as a Class II recall.
