Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is currently investigating the recent FDA Class I recall of Becton Dickinson Alaris system infusion pumps due to multiple system errors, software errors, and use-related errors. These infusion pumps continuously or intermittently deliver fluids, medications, blood and blood products to adult, pediatric, or neonatal patients in large volumes. The errors experienced were likely to lead to a delay in infusion, the interruption of infusion, slower-than-expected delivery of medication and faster-than-expected delivery of medication.

In total, the company recalled 774,000 devices in the U.S. According to a news release, there have been 55 reported injuries and one death due to the issues. These were the affected models:
