The MHRA have issued an alert warning of potential infusion device drug error when using the Smiths Medical Graseby Omnifuse and Omnifuse PCA syringe pumps.

The MHRA have warned of the possibility of patients being given an additional/unnecessary infusion when syringes are changed or infusions restarted when using DrugPro software. If the user selects – but does not confirm – a drug protocol from the drug protocol library and then resets/stops the pump, the previously infused volume will not be added to the ‘total volume infused’ display.
