Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries.

Plain-English summary

ICU Medical Inc is recalling approximately 93,135 Plum 360 infusion pumps distributed worldwide. The devices were manufactured between July 2020 and December 2021 and can be identified by UDI/DI M335300101.

A manufacturing defect in a supplier-provided component creates a potential that the audible signal for an alarm may not sound under certain operating conditions. Infusion pumps rely on audible alarms to alert healthcare providers to critical situations such as line occlusions, air in the line, or equipment malfunction. If the alarm fails to sound, detection of these conditions could be delayed, potentially affecting patient safety.

This recall affects Plum 360 infusion pumps used in healthcare settings worldwide. Patients and healthcare workers using these devices should be aware of this potential defect.
