    Description

    Plum A+ Hyperbaric Single Channel Infusion Pumps with Hospira MedNet Software and a Connectivity Engine peripheral module that provides wired Ethernet and wireless local networking, allowing the MedNet software to download drug libraries to the infuser and enable the auto-programming feature; Hospira, Inc., Lake Forest, IL 60045; pump list number 11005, module list number 11006 Product Usage: The Plum A+ Hyperbaric Infusion System is exclusively designed for hyperbaric therapy in monospace and multiplace chambers.

    Reason

    The volume control knob on some Plum A+ single channel infusers (located on the back of the infuser) may not function as described in the System Operating Manual - the direction for Loud and Quiet may be reversed. The manual indicates a clockwise rotation of the knob decreases the volume; however, on some of the devices the alarm volume increases when the knob is turned clockwise.
