    • Terminated Z-2059-2016 FDA Class II initiated 9 Sep 2013 via K982159, on the same 510(k)
    • Terminated Z-2062-2016 FDA Class II initiated 9 Sep 2013 via K982159, on the same 510(k)

    Intravenous fluid may leak at the CLAVE secondary port of Hospira PlumSet IV administration sets.

    • Terminated Z-0285-2014 FDA Class II initiated 1 Feb 2013

    Plum A+ infusers have the potential for the distal (occlusion) press sensor pin to break. The distal pressure sensor pin is a part of the overall subsystem that measures the pressure within the distal line of the administration set and indicates the presence of a full or partial distal occlusion. A broken distal pin can only be detected via a visual inspection of the distal pressure pin. A broken

    • Terminated Z-0624-2013 FDA Class II initiated 7 Dec 2012

    The door roller assembly on the Plum A+/A+3 infuser family of infusers has the potential to break which can lead to possible unrestricted flow and/or over-delivery during the removal of the IV administration set's cassette from the pump.

    • Terminated Z-0481-2013 FDA Class II initiated 26 Oct 2012

    The volume control knob on some Plum A+ single channel infusers (located on the back of the infuser) may not function as described in the System Operating Manual - the direction for Loud and Quiet may be reversed. The manual indicates a clockwise rotation of the knob decreases the volume; however, on some of the devices the alarm volume increases when the knob is turned clockwise.

    • Terminated Z-0205-2014 FDA Class II initiated 5 Feb 2012

    Hospira has received reports of distal pressure sensor calibration drift on Plum A+ Infusers. The following error codes may be displayed during setup or infusion signifying possible calibration drift: E180/N180, E181/N181, E186/N186, E187/N187 or E346. Additionally, if the pressure sensor calibration has drifted, users may experience false distal occlusion alarms or distal occlusions that may not

    • Terminated Z-3284-2011 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) initiated 16 Sep 2011

    Hospira has received reports of incorrect seating of the regulator closer on the Plum A+ Infusion Pumps. If the regulator closer does not close the flow regulator actuator when the pump door is opened, and if the clinician has not engaged the clamp prior to opening the cassette door, unrestricted flow may occur.

    • Terminated Z-0009-2012 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) initiated 16 Sep 2011

    Hospira has received reports of continuous recycling and/or rebooting of Plum A+ infusion pumps when the backlight intensity and/or display contrast settings for the LED display has been adjusted from the original default setting. This condition could cause a delay in therapy if the clinician is unable to start the device due to the continuous recycling and/or rebooting.

    • Terminated Z-1644-2011 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) initiated 14 Feb 2011

    Hospira has received customer reports of the Plum A+ infusion pumps with no audible alarm conditions, which have been associated with failure of the piezoelectric assembly due to component quality issues.
