FDA says that of four scenarios described in a Becton Dickinson (BD) 6/30 recall of its BD Alaris infusion pump system, three of the scenarios are Class 1 and one is Class 2\. The classifications are included in a recall [update](https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/bd-provides-update-previously-disclosed-recall-bd-alaris-system-hardware?utm%5Fcampaign=FDA%20MedWatch%3A%20BD%20Alaris%20System%20Hardware%20Recall%20Update%20SEPT%202%202020&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=Eloqua).

BD said it initiated the recall to notify customers of the potential for four hardware situations that may result in the infusion pump not operating as expected. The scenarios are: 

- damaged inter-unit interface (Class 1)
- broken elements on Alaris pump module platen (Class 1)
- improperly secured PC unit battery (Class 1); and
- dim LED segment(s) on Alaris modules (Class 2).
