A delay / interruption in therapy may, in the worst case, result in a serious adverse event. Lithium batteries older than 3 years must be replaced. Health professionals are advised to evaluate the risks / benefits to patients associated with the use of the equipment when administering critical therapies. Clients should contact a Hospira representative for the use of an alternate pump, particularly for patients in whom delayed / discontinued therapy can lead to serious injury or serious adverse events.
