Recommended Action
Per FDA guidance
On 01/23/2025, the firm sent via FedEx, 2-day mail and email an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE LABELING CORRECTION" Letter to customers informing them that Through an internal review, BD has identified that in the BD Alaris" System User Manual v 12.3.1 (p/n #P00000455), 12.3.2 (p/n# P00000827) and 12.4 (p/n# P00000828), there is an incorrect note on the Pump Module Set Loading instructions.
