ICU Medical Plum Solo Precision IV Pump recalled for piggyback flush programming error
What this means
ICU Medical's Plum Solo and Duo Infusion pumps have a software issue that may prevent clinicians from programming an automatic line flush after piggyback therapy. In certain situations, the pump displays an error message that blocks the flush from being set up, even though the flush is a normal part of the treatment process.
- If you use or manage these pumps, contact ICU Medical for guidance on the affected software versions (1.0.2 for US model 400010401 or 1.0.0 for Philippines model 400011001)
- Do not attempt workarounds; follow your facility's protocol and ICU Medical's instructions
The agency's original wording
Plum Solo and Duo Infusion pumps include a feature, that when selected, automatically flushes the downstream line after a piggyback therapy. The programmed flush volume is delivered from the primary line container at the piggyback therapy rate after the piggyback therapy is complete. In certain cases, as described below, the clinician may receive an Upper Hard Limit (UHL) or Lower Hard Limit (LHL) Violation message when programming a piggyback flush, which prevents the flush from being programmed.
