Class I Status for I-Flow ON-Q Pump Recall

A recent recall of I-Flow ON-Q Pumps with ONDEMAND Bolus Button has been given a Class I status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

A Class I warning is issued by the agency when there is the potential for a product to cause serious health problems or death.

The FDA warns that the pumps do not lock in the down position when depressed and the orange bolus refill indicator may stay in its lowest position. As a result, it may cause the patient to receive a continuous supply of drugs at a rate higher than required resulting in serious health complications and even death.

The I-Flow ON-Q Pumps are used to deliver narcotics or anesthetics during before, during and after surgical procedures. The device can be used for continuous as well as intermittent anesthetic and pain management.
