Smiths Medical Recalls CADD Solis VIP Pumps for Mistranslated Message

Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. is recalling 20 CADD Solis VIP Ambulatory Infusion Pumps sold in Finland due to a mistranslated error message. The pump's function is unchanged, and no patient injury can occur.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the pump's function is unchanged and no patient injury can occur, classifying this as a documentation or labeling issue with no risk of harm.

Plain-English summary

Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. is recalling 20 units of the CADD Solis VIP Ambulatory Infusion Pump, Model 21-21210, Reorder 21-2120-0102-15. These devices were sold to the Finnish market. The recall is due to a mistranslated word in a specific error message displayed on the pump.

When a user performs a specific set of key presses, the pump displays a message indicating that a Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) dose is unavailable because the pump is running. The message should correctly indicate that the PCA dose is not available because the pump is stopped. The source text states that the function of the pump is unchanged and no patient injury can occur since no drug is being delivered during this specific message display.

The affected units are identified by the following codes: 1071155, 1076826, 1081258, 1081260, 1081275, 1082475, 1082511, 1082512, 1090347, 1090348, 1090349, 1091767, 1091768, 1091769, 1091770, 1091771, 1092395, 1100186, 1100188, 1100189.
