Plain-English summary
Smiths Medical ASD Inc. is recalling the Medfusion Guide Barrel Clamp (Part Number G6000716) for use in Medfusion Model 4000, 3500, and 3010 infusion pumps. The affected components contain a molding defect that may allow the spring in the barrel clamp assembly to slip.
If spring slippage occurs, the pump may fail to recognize that a syringe has been loaded, or it may misidentify the size of the loaded syringe. This could result in the pump being unable to deliver medication correctly.
Approximately 1,842 guide barrel clamps have been distributed worldwide under lot numbers P0407365, P0486670, and P0561740. Healthcare facilities should verify whether their infusion pumps contain affected components by checking the lot numbers on their equipment.
