Hospira has issued a Class I recall on the Abbott Acclaim Infusion Pumps and Hospira Acclaim Encore Infusion Pumps, due to faulty door assemblies.
Hospira has received customer reports of broke door assemblies on the infusion pumps. If the door of the pumps is not closed properly, an over-infusion or delay of therapy may occur, resulting in serious adverse events, including death.
The infusion pumps deliver parenteral infusions and are used in both healthcare facilities and home care.
