Description

Model 4000 Plus Ambulatory Infusion Pump, Model Number: 350-1001

Reason

Over-delivery/free-flow in the past eight months involving Curlin ambulatory peristaltic multi-therapy infusion pumps where the pumping chamber door (platen) had become deformed in a manner that permitted gravity flow.

Action

On May 30, 2008, Curlin Medical began distribution of a "Voluntary Field Correction Advisory Notice" to all customers in the United States via USPS Registered Mail. The Notice informed customers of the problem and gave the customers (1) Guidelines on testing pump volumetric accuracy, (2) Updated user manuals to elevate the "caution" statement related to dropped pumps to a "warning" statement, and (3) A warning label to be located on the pump: "Warning: Impact may cause damage. If dropped, pump must be checked for accuracy prior to use". A toll free number (888-287-5999) was given for customers experiencing issues that require immediate assistance.
