Eitan Medical has recalled its Sapphire MT Infusion Pump, Sapphire Epidural Infusion Pump, and Sapphire Plus Infusion Pump due to software issues that may fail to detect air in the line when running on battery power. “In some cases, the pump may not sound an alarm when there is air in the line,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/eitan-medical-ltd-recalls-sapphire-infusion-pumps-failure-detect-air-line?ref=fdaweb.com) says. (XXINSERT LINKXX) “Failure to detect air in the line can lead to blockage in a blood vessel (embolism), causing complications such as unstable blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, or even death.” To date, the company says it has received no reports about injuries or death associated with the issue.

The pumps are intended to deliver fluids, nutrition, including lipids, as well as medication, blood, and blood products such as platelets and plasma. They run under both battery power and a connected power source.
