Reason for Recall
There are two potential issues with CADD Infusion
System Infusion Sets: (1) Lack of Delivery or
Underdelivery related to Tubing Occlusion and (2) False "No Disposable Attached (NDA)" Alarms
Firm Action
The firm issued an URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION notice on 12/09/2022 by mail.
Actions for Clinicians and Patients:
. The pump may not adequately detect the cassette before or during an infusion due to this issue, and an alarm will be triggered. If a pump displays an NDA alarm, the user can try to resolve the alarm by repositioning the CADD Medication Cassette Reservoir while connected to the pump, repositioning the reservoir by disconnecting from the pump and reattaching it to the pump, or replacing the reservoir.
. Or the user can remove the reservoir from the pump and push the plastic ridge highlighted in the circle towards the arch on the reservoir.
. For patients requiring life sustaining medications, we recommend use of alternative CADD infusion sets. Contact pharmacy to discuss availability of alternative CADD infusion sets. Due to availability and specific patient situations, clinicians may consider switching patients to an alternative pump.
. If the user cannot resolve the NDA alarm, replace the cassette reservoir, though the issues may recur if that product is also affected by this recall.
. Clinicians, share this letter with your homecare patients and educate them about the actions above.
