FDA has classified as Class 1 a CareFusion recall of its Alaris Syringe Pump due to an alarm error which may cause therapy interruption. The infusion pump is intended to deliver fluids, such as nutrients, blood and medications, into a patient’s body in controlled amounts. A [recall notice](http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm540609.htm?ref=fdaweb.com) says a faulty Air-In-Line (AIL) sensor may generate the false alarm and cause the syringe pump to stop supplying the infusion to the patient. “If the AIL sensor is faulty, the false alarm may be repeated and require the health care provider to clear the alarm to restart the infusion,” it says. “Interruption of infusion could lead to serious adverse health consequences or death.”
