| Issue: | The BD Alaris Infusion pump administration sets require priming prior to use as described in the Directions for Use (DFU). The manufacturer has identified a potential issue with the BD Alaris Infusion Pump administration sets manufactured during January 2017 through March 2018. The issue pertains to the back check valve and the ability to prime the administration sets. The cause leading to this issue are. 1. Excessive solvent used to connect the tubing to the back check valve leading to an obstruction of the fluid path, thus preventing the priming of the set. 2. A higher cracking pressure of the back check valve. |
