  • Causa
    There is a potential for the distal (occlusion) pressure sensor pin to break on plum a+ infusers. the distal pressure sensor pin is part of the overall subsystem that measures the pressure within the distal line of the administration set and indicated the presence of a full or partial distal occlusion. a broken distal pressure pin can only be detected via a visual inspection of the distal pressure pin.
  • Acción
    Hospira has provided work around instructions in the customer letter to identify and mitigate the issue temporarily.To further address this issue, Hospira is in the process of redesigning the distal pressure sensor pin to improve its strength and reduce the potential for breakage. Healthcare professionals are advised to weigh the risk/benefit to patients associated with the use of the device when administering critical therapies. Customers should consider the use of an alternative pump, particularly in patients in which a delay/interruption of therapy or an under/over-infusion could result in serious injury or death.
