The CE marking for these pumps has been withdrawn.Hospira will not be able to supply any new pumps. However, they can continue to supply consumables for pumps already in use.There are a number of current Field Safety Notices detailing faults that may lead to over-infusion, low infusion rates or an interruption to therapy. The manufacturer’s proposed corrective actions for the Plum pumps (which include design changes) will not be carried out in the UK at this time, as their safety and performance have not been subjected to independent assessment by a notified body.In March 2013 the MHRA issued Medical Device Alert MDA/2013/016 in relation to the Gemstar infusers. The relevant Field Safety Notices are:Pressure sensor calibration drift (920Kb) (dated 21 March 2013)
