Action Taken
On July 30, 2020, the firm sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL CORRECTION" Notification Letter via FedEx to customers informing them of two issues: Issue 1: The motor block mechanism may be affected over time by normal wear and tear which may cause the device to stop without alarms being generated. Issue 2: Due to routine cleaning and disinfection, there is a potential for fluid to ingress into the pump and over time, could result in damage to the pump components leading to inoperability of the device. For this issue the device will stop and will alarm. The Recalling Firm is instructing customers to: For Issue 1: Inspect the lead screw to detect the presence of white plastic debris. Inspection must be performed prior to each use of the affected pumps. If signs of wear and tear are observed, discontinue use of the pump and contact the Recalling Firm for product removal. For Issue 2: Follow the Manufacturer Recommended Cleaning instructions in Appendix A and the Technical Service Manual instructions for preventive maintenance provided in Appendix B of the attached Customer Letter to limit the cumulative effects of fluid ingress over time.
