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
Smiths Medical ASD Inc. is recalling certain Medfusion Syringe Pump models, specifically the Series 3100, 3500, and 4000. The recall involves 16,600 pumps that were distributed worldwide, including in the United States, Australia, Canada, and other international markets.
The recall was initiated because these pumps may not recognize or may misidentify loaded medication syringes. If a pump fails to recognize a syringe, it cannot complete the programming process. If the pump misidentifies the syringe, it may incorrectly interpret the syringe size. These issues could impact the administration of fluids requiring precisely controlled infusion rates.
Healthcare facilities and users of these devices should contact Smiths Medical ASD Inc. for further instructions on how to address the issue. The source text does not specify a particular action for consumers to take immediately, such as stopping use, but indicates a defect in the device's ability to process syringe information.
