BD Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100 Recall

WASHINGTON, DC – The US Food and Drug Administration announced that BD / CareFusion 303 Inc is recalling 145,000 of its Becton Dickinson Alaris pumps.  The recall is classified as a Class I recall because the pump’s defect may cause serious injury or death.  The defect can cause the buttons to become stuck or unresponsive once pressed leading to delayed infusions, and “preventing clinicians from changing fluid and medication infusions used with the pump.”

CareFusion 303 Inc., a BD owned company, announced the recall for the BD Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100 due to the danger of the “keypad lifting up as a result of fluid entry.”

According to the FDA’s recall announcement, there have been 79 complaints regarding the defect.  The FDA stated that this recall is separate from the other Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100 recall that was issued back in August 2020 for a related issue.

Technical issues associated with BD’s Alaris pump systems have resulted in nine Class I recalls since 2019.  In the past year, there have been five recalls alone.  The perpetual problems with BD’s Alaris pump system has caused the FDA to request BD to file a new 510(k) application for FDA review.  The CEO, Tom Polen, stated that the company anticipates filing for the new 510(k) application in the second or third quarter of 2021.

The malfunctions that caused this most recall are linked to past issues with the same Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100; however, the issues are separate from the August 2020 recall.

A BD spokesperson stated that the recalls are both involve the model’s keypad and its potential for fluid ingress causing a keypad function.  BD also stated that this recall is for devices manufactured from January 23, 2019, until December 5, 2019.  According to BD, any devices that were remediated during the August 2020 recall do not need to be replaced.

According to company warnings to purchasers of the he company’s Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100, high-risk patients who are “receiving life-sustaining infusions are at the greatest risk of harm,” because a delay, interruption of an infusion could cause serious injury or death.

I contacted Parker Waichman a little over 2 years ago in regards to a WTC claim. PW informed me, at that time, that I had to register with the WTC Health Plan. Well, this led to 2 years of patience, health exams and time (on both my part and PW's part) to have my health conditions certified. Directly following certification, Nicole Copertino quickly pushed my claim through with diligence and expert professionalism. I truly appreciate her care and concern for me. I look forward to a positive outcome. Duly note her expertise and talent. Thank You Nicole. Looking forward to working with you through to the outcome.

The employees at Parker Waichman were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in resolving all matters pertaining to my case. I consulted with several members of the Parker Waichman team throughout the process and I was extremely impressed with their knowledge and genuine concern for me as an individual. I worked extensively with Benita Rollis towards the end of my case. She was extremely professional and detail oriented. She was always there to answer any question I had no matter how insignificant it may have been. I could not have done it without Benita and Parker Waichman helping me navigate this process every step of the way. I would highly recommend Parker Waichman.
