Plain-English summary

Step-Har Medical LLC is recalling two Alaris Pump Modules, Model 8100, that were serviced or repaired using bezel repair parts not made by the original manufacturer. The affected units have serial numbers 12747983 and 9919591 and were distributed in Iowa.

The recall is due to a risk that the bezel repair parts may crack or have their posts separate from the bezel over time. If this separation occurs, it may result in free flow, over-infusion, under-infusion, or interruption of the infusion.

Healthcare providers and facilities that have these specific serial numbers should stop using the affected pump modules and contact Step-Har Medical for instructions on repair or replacement.
