The FDA issued a notice determining that the recall of ICU Medical (Nasdaq:ICUI) infusion pump batteries is Class I, the most serious kind.

ICU Medical initiated a recall of replacement batteries for certain infusion systems on March 22, 2023. The recall affects its Plum 360, Plum A+ and Plum A+3 infusion systems.

The infusion systems provide fluid to patients in precisely controlled infusion amounts and rates. They deliver blood or blood products, drugs and other fluid mixtures through subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, and intrathecal administration. Their batteries and replacement batteries are used when the pump is not plugged into AC power. An example of this occurs during patient transport.
