CareFusion Recalls Alaris PC Unit Model 8015 Medical Device Over Alleged Alaris Communication Errors.
A class I recall has been issued by CareFusion Corporation (“CareFusion”), 10020 Pacific Mesa Boulevard, San Diego, California 92121, recalling Alaris PC Unit Model 8015, an electronic infusion pump that delivers controlled amounts of medications or other fluids to patients through an intravenous (IV), intra-arterial (IA), epidural, and other acceptable routes of administration, according to a Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) medical device recall news report.
The CareFusion Alaris PC Unit recall was reportedly issued because under certain wireless network conditions, a communication error can occur, which freezes the Alaris PC Unit screen which may result in a delay of therapy and inability to make programming changes to infusions and could lead to serious injury and/or death. Class 1 recalls are reportedly the most serious type of recall and involve situations in which there is a reasonable probability that use of these products will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
The CareFusion Alaris PC Unit Model 8015 medical device recall notice reportedly includes Alaris PC units (model 8015) manufactured from December 20, 2008 through September 8, 2009 and distributed from December 20, 2008 through June 28, 2010 with certain serial numbers.
