Plain-English summary

CareFusion 303, Inc. is recalling the Alaris System PC Unit Model 8000 modular infusion pump and monitoring system. The recall involves 37,141 units distributed across the United States and various international locations.

The recall is due to a potential issue where one or more screws or washers may be loose or missing. This can cause the battery to not be properly secured to the PC Unit. If the system is running on battery power, this condition may result in a power loss accompanied by a prolonged, non-silenceable alarm. Such a power loss may lead to an interruption of patient therapy or monitoring.

Healthcare facilities and users should check their devices for loose or missing screws or washers securing the battery. If the issue is present, the device should be taken out of service and the manufacturer contacted for further instructions.
