Device Use
The BodyGuard Infusion Pump System delivers fluids or medications into a patient's body in controlled amounts. The pump administers fluids through an infusion tubing set into a patient's vein or through other cleared routes of administration. The system is used in adult care in a hospital and home care environment. The Microset Infusion Set (catalog umber A120-003XYVA) is one of the infusion sets that may be used with the BodyGuard Infusion Pump System.
Reason for Recall
CME America has identified that specific Microset Infusion Sets, Catalog Number A120-003XYVA, which have an extended section of tubing longer than standard lengths, prohibitively restrict medication flow to the pumping chamber of the infusion pump. This restriction may result in under-infusion of the therapy. The patient may not receive the appropriate treatment, which could cause serious adverse health consequences including death.
CME America has received three complaints of under-infusion, but no injuries or deaths have been reported. The issue was found during pump set-up testing, prior to use on patients.
Who May be Affected
- Health care providers using the BodyGuard Microset Infusion Set
- Home care providers using the BodyGuard Microset Infusion Set
- Patients who may receive fluids or medications delivered by the recalled Infusion Set
