| Issue: | Specific lots of the keypad components may exhibit unintended behaviour impacting the “On/Off”, “Hold” and “Run” keys. Specifically, the affected pumps may experience one or more of the following failure modes: - The pump may enter “Tech Mode” autonomously during powerup. - Keypad buttons may become unresponsive, preventing normal operation. - A “KY1” error may be displayed, indicating a stuck key. A faulty keypad on the BD Alaris Syringe Pump may cause delays in starting or interruptions during infusion, with the severity of harm depending on the drug type, patient condition, and duration of the interruption. Potential outcomes range from no harm to critical injury, particularly when short half-life vasoactive drugs or TIVA are involved, as these are used in high-acuity patients and can lead to hemodynamic instability or reduced anaesthesia within minutes |
