Reason for recall

Medfusion Model 4000, 3500, and 3010 pumps manufactured or serviced with Barrel Clamp Guide (Part Number G6000716), Lot Numbers P0407365, P0486670, and P0561740 may contain a molding defect that could potentially lead to slippage of the spring within the barrel clamp assembly. If this occurs, it could result in the inability of the pump to recognize a syringe or the pump may misidentify the size of the syringe loaded.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
