Recall Notice: B. Braun Outlook 400ES Safety Infusion System, Model Number 621-400ES: Class I Recall - Hardware May Become Unresponsive
On February 1, 2011, B. Braun Medical Inc. and the FDA issued a Class 1 Recall of its Outlook 400ES Safety Infusion System, Model# 621-400ES. Infusions systems upgraded with the Motorola compact flash hardware and supporting software, when used in a network environment that utilizes Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) authentication, can potentially induce a memory leak that can cause the Management Processor to become non-responsive. This causes normal operation to stop, which is signaled by an audible backup alarm indicating that the pump is not delivering the medicine. It is encouraged that customers deactivate the wireless communication on their pumps and return them to the manufacturer. Any questions can be directed to B. Braun Medical Inc. at (972) 245-2243.
