Hospira announces Hemoset Dual Channel Plum Sets recall

Hospira has announced a recall of two lots of Hemoset Dual Channel Plum Sets (list number 11241-03, lot numbers 28005-5H and 34100-5H). 

It is a medical device that is designed to administer blood and blood products via the Plum infusion pump at the intended dose, with no risk of over-delivery. Hospira stated that if the affected product is removed from the Plum infusion pump and used in a gravity infusion, over-delivery may occur as the correct lower lid dispenses 15 drops per mL, while the incorrect lower lid found dispenses ten drops per mL.

Hospira said an incorrect set component was supplied before the manufacturing process and the recall has been issued in the US to mitigate the impact of the impacted product lots. 

This is a precautionary measure with Hospira stating there has been no related customer reports.

The blood sets in question were distributed to US healthcare and veterinary facilities from May 2013 through December 2013.
