This FDA Devices action (record #Z-2064-2019) was formally reported on August 21, 2019, with the manufacturer initiating the action on June 24, 2019. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. Fenwal Inc is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Lake Zurich, IL. Federal records indicate 9461 units units are affected.
The documented reason for this recall is: The firm is correcting four software anomalies and KVO (keep vein open) end of infusion alarm priority in Software versions 1.7 and 1.9a of Volumat MC Agilia Software and versions 1.0 and 1.1 of Vigilant DrugLib Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: US Nationwide Distribution. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.
To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 7 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
