  • Reason
    Master pumps used to calibrate curlin infusion pumps manufactured or serviced from march 18, 2015 to november 6, 2015 were out of tolerance.Use of affected pumps may cause an over-delivery of medications and solutions at a rate of 1.2 – 6.8% faster than programmed. likewise, the volume to be infused may be depleted earlier than expected, resulting in over delivery of overfill contained in the iv bag, if overfill is present. if overfill is not present, the pump may present an air in line or upstream occlusion alarm once the iv bag has emptied. the pump will stop infusing when either of these alarms occurs.
