The Biomed Guys Recalls Alaris Infusion Pump Module 8100 Bezel Due to Possible Cracked or Separated Bezel Repair Posts

The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries or death.

Recalled Product

  • Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100 Bezel, purchased and/or installed by The Biomed Guys
  • Models: Alaris Model 8100
  • Product Number: TIPA-8100-4410
  • Devices Recalled in the U.S.: 22
  • Distribution Date: September 1, 2021 to February 28, 2021
  • Date Initiated by Firm: March 25, 2021

Device Use

The Alaris Infusion Pump Module Model 8100 is used to deliver fluids such as medications, nutrients, blood, and other therapies into a person’s body, in controlled amounts. The bezel component is critical to the proper performance of the infusion pump. Bezels from The Biomed Guys are used to service and repair infusion pump modules.

Reason for Recall

The Biomed Guys is recalling the affected products and devices because the bezel components may crack or separate, leading to inaccurate delivery of fluids to patients. The separation of one or more bezel posts may result in:

  • Free flow of fluids to a patient
  • Over delivery or under delivery of fluids delivered to a patient
  • Interruption of fluids delivered to a patient

If this device issue occurs, this could cause serious patient harm.

There have been no deaths, complaints or injuries reported for this recall.

This recall is related to Tenacore’s recent recall of the Alaris pump bezel assembly and Alaris infusion pumps repaired with the bezel assembly.

Who May be Affected

  • Health care providers using the Alaris Pump Module Model 8100 with an affected bezel serviced by The Biomed Guys
  • Patients who require care using the Alaris Pump Module Model 8100 with an affected bezel serviced by The Biomed Guys

What to Do

On March 25, 2021, The Biomed Guys sent a recall notification letter via email. Similar to the Tenacore recall notification, the letter requested that customers:

  • Review the serial number list of pumps that are potentially impacted by the recall.
  • Remove potentially affected devices from clinical use and immediately quarantine them.
  • Contact The Biomed Guys to schedule bezel repair part replacement. The impacted bezel repair part must be replaced before the pump can be returned to service.
  • Complete and return the Customer Response Form
