Pacific Medical Group Recalled Alaris Infusion Pump Bezel
The Alaris Infusion Pump (Model 8100) is used to deliver fluids into a person’s body in controlled amounts such as nutrients, medications, blood, and other therapies. The bezel post is used to service and repair infusion pump modules. In order for the machine to perform properly, the front bezel component is critical.
The Pacific Medical Group is recalling the devices because the front bezel components may lead to inaccurate delivery of fluids to patients due to cracks or separation. The separation of one or more bezel posts may result in the interruption of fluids delivered to a patient, over-delivery or under-delivery of fluids delivered to a patient, or the free flow of fluids to a patient.
