BD Alaris Pump Module 8100 recalled for network connectivity issue
Check your BD Alaris Pump Module 8100
Some BD Alaris Pump Module 8100 infusion pumps have a software date/time issue related to daylight saving time that may prevent them from connecting to hospital networks. This affects only the network connectivity function; the pump's ability to deliver medication is not impacted. The issue involves 189 devices distributed in Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, and Virginia.
- If your hospital operates a BD Alaris System with a Pump Module 8100, check whether your device's serial number is on the recall list (provided by BD/CareFusion).
- Contact BD customer support or your hospital's biomedical/clinical engineering department for instructions on software updates or replacement.
- Do not remove the pump from service; continue normal operation while awaiting guidance.
Due to a number of modules flashed with a date and time associated with the daylight savings time (DST) adjustment that may cause connectivity issue with hospital networks. This issue only affects the Interoperability workflow for devices with a DST invalid timestamp, impacting connectivity of the PCU to the hospital network
