Becton, Dickinson is correcting software (Class 1 recall) for the BD Alaris Systems Manager and BD Care Coordination Engine Infusion Adapter after receiving reports that customers running both may experience delayed system response and backlogging of automated programming requests (APRs). “After the delay, outdated APRs may upload to the Alaris computer, presenting different rate, dose, or volume parameters than the current infusion,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/infusion-pump-software-correction-becton-dickinson-and-company-bd-issues-correction-bd-alaris?ref=fdaweb.com) says. “If the outdated rate/dose change is accepted by the user, a patient could receive inaccurate therapy including over- or under-infusion.”

The notice says the issue may cause serious adverse health consequences, including complications caused by the sudden pump stoppage or by receiving too much or too little therapy, causing death. To date, no injuries have been reported.

The Alaris infusion pump and monitoring system provides continuous or intermittent fluids such as medication, red blood cells, or other blood products to adults, children, and infants, according to the company.
