Due to an issue in manufacturing, downstream occlusion (DSO) sensors in some Smiths Medical CADD-Solis infusion pumps may drift out of calibration, potentially resulting in erroneous alarms that disable the units. Hospitals experiencing the problem should return affected units to Smiths Medical for recalibration (free of charge) and should consider testing all their CADD-Solis pumps during routine maintenance to ensure that they alarm appropriately for downstream occlusions.

The Koh cup--a component of the CooperSurgical Koh Colpotomizer system, which is used in some surgeries of the uterus-may detach during removal of the system from the patient, presenting the risk that it will be retained in the patient following surgery. Users should confirm that the system is intact when it is removed from the patient.
