Recall details

Recalling firm

CareFusion 303, Inc.

Reason for recall

The bezel manufacturing process for the FR-110 plastic may have resulted in its weakening. A bezel with weakened plastic may, over time, lead to separation of the bezel post (recall issue) as well as other damage to the bezel (i.e. external cracking). The separation of one or more bezel posts may result in free flow, over infusion, under infusion or interruption of infusion.
