Hospira, Inc. Hit With Another Serious Infusion Pump Recall

Hospira continues to struggle with serious problems related to its GemStar Infusion System and its accessories. The latest bad news came Wednesday, when the FDA designated a recall of the GemStar Power Supply, 3VDC, as Class I.

It is the fifth time in nearly three years that FDA regulators thought an issue around a GemStar-related recall could result in serious injury or death, and it is the eighth time overall that Hospira has faced a Class I recall. (Only three other medical device companies—Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, and General Electric—have had more Class I recalls than Hospira since the start of 2012.)
