Arrow AutoFuser Disposable Pain Control Pump Recalled for Potential Cracks

Arrow International Inc. is recalling specific Arrow AutoFuser Disposable Pain Control Pumps due to possible cracks on the fill port connector that may cause leaks and reduced drug delivery.

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 where a defect (cracks/leaks) may result in reduced drug delivery and lower pain relief, representing a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Arrow International Inc. is recalling two units of the Arrow AutoFuser Disposable Pain Control Pump, product code MVBX30XLCPNB. The recall involves units with 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 and consequently a lower level of pain relief than prescribed or expected. This may result in the need for other, additional analgesic drug administration.

The affected products were distributed nationwide. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the specific product code and contact the recalling firm for instructions on replacement or return.
