BD Alaris Pump Module 8100 - 7/8 Urgent Medical Device Recall/Correction

Are there early words of wisdom on this 7/8 BD Alaris device letter (first attachment) concerning the pump module and potential over and under infusion / inaccuracies versus manual standards on rates < 1 mL/hr and volume < 1 mL. We are currently pulling data on medications and profiles connecting to these rates/volumes (second attachment).

There is connectivity to both peds and adult practice with these rates, so we are starting a workgroup next week to discussion. Seeking early discoveries and potential next step ideas.
