The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries or death.

Recalled Product

  • Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100 Bezel, purchased and/or installed by Step-Har Medical
  • Models: Alaris Model 8100
  • Serial Numbers: 12747983 and 9919591
  • Devices Recalled in the U.S.: 2
  • Date Initiated by Firm: February 26, 2021

Device Use

The Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100 is used to deliver fluids such as medications, nutrients, blood, and other therapies into a person’s body, in controlled amounts. The bezel component is critical to the proper performance of the infusion pump. Bezels from Step-Har Medical are used to service and repair infusion pump modules.

Reason for Recall

Step-Har Medical is recalling the affected products and devices because the bezel components may crack or separate, leading to inaccurate delivery of fluids to patients. The separation of one or more bezel posts may result in:

  • free flow of fluids to a patient
  • over delivery or under delivery of fluids delivered to a patient
  • interruption of fluids delivered to a patient

If this device issue occurs, this could cause serious patient harm.

There have been no deaths, complaints or injuries reported for this recall.

This recall is related to Tenacore’s recent recall of the Alaris pump bezel assembly and Alaris infusion pumps repaired with the bezel assembly.

Who May be Affected

  • Health care providers using the Alaris Pump Module Model 8100 with an affected bezel serviced by Step-Har Medical
  • Patients who require care using the Alaris Pump Module Model 8100 with an affected bezel serviced by Step-Har Medical
