What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall of a critical medical device with potential for serious patient harm including overdose, underdose, and treatment delays. No hospitalizations or injuries have been reported in the source material, classifying this as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been documented.
Plain-English summary
This recall involves the Perfusor Space Syringe Pump (Model 8713032U), manufactured by B Braun Medical Inc. The pump is an infusion device used to administer medications and other substances. The recall affects all 4,519 units distributed with this model number.
The pump's instructions for use previously identified Monoject syringes as compatible for use. However, Cardinal Health recently changed how Monoject syringes are manufactured. These changes may prevent the pump from properly recognizing and working with the new Monoject syringes. This incompatibility could result in overdose, underdose, delays in therapy delivery, delays in feeding, and delays in occlusion alarms.
The affected pump was distributed nationwide in the United States and also to Canada. All serial numbers of Model 8713032U are involved.
If you have this pump, contact B Braun Medical Inc for guidance on whether your device is affected and what steps to take. Do not use the pump with Monoject syringes unless you receive further instruction confirming compatibility.
