The hazard
Hospira has received reports of PCA pumps not detecting distal occlusions, one of which resulted in a serious injury. The issue is caused by normal wear and tear on the Half Nut (the component/nut that travels up and down the lead screw) which prevents it from properly detecting the pressure build-up associated with a distal occlusion.
