What the notice says: If infusion pump is dropped or severely jarred this may damage the pump module bezel assembly, which can cause under-infusion, over-infusion, unregulated flow, or pump module failure to calibrate; so dropped/jarred pumps should be removed from use, tested, and inspected by qualified service personnel prior to reuse; tip sheet, cleaning and disinfecting procedure and reference guide updated.

Why it matters: The FDA recorded an enforcement action against this device. Most device recalls are corrections rather than removals, so the device often stays in use while the manufacturer issues a fix.
