Title: Medical Device Safety and Recalls: CareFusion Recalls Alaris Syringe Pump due to an Alarm Error Which May Cause Interruption of Therapy

CareFusion is recalling the Alaris Syringe Pump because of a faulty Air-In-Line (AIL) sensor which may generate a 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. Interruption of infusion could lead to serious adverse health consequences or death.
