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.

Plain-English summary

Arrow International Inc. is recalling the Arrow AutoFuser Disposable Pain Control Pump, product code MVBX60XL CPNB, due to a potential defect in the fill port connector. The recall is classified as Class II by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

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 necessitate the administration of other, additional analgesic drugs.

The product was distributed nationwide. Users should check their pumps for cracks on the fill port connector and contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider for guidance if a defect is found.
