Plain-English summary
CareFusion 303, Inc. is recalling certain Alaris PC Unit 8015 infusion pump computers. The affected units use specific wireless network cards (802.11 b/g or 802.11 a/b/g) configured with IP addresses in a particular range. Approximately 83,185 units have been distributed in the United States and internationally.
These devices may experience wireless network connectivity failure. When connectivity is lost, the PC unit cannot receive new datasets or transfer analytics data to connected systems. For systems integrated with electronic medication records, users may be unable to receive or transmit necessary data.
If network connectivity fails, infusions may need to be manually programmed instead of remotely configured. This affects healthcare facilities and providers using these systems for infusion pump management. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.
