Why Was This Recalled?
The proximal and distal pressure sensor calibration can drift resulting in the pump failing the Proximal or Distal Occlusion Operational Test, as described in the GemStar Technical Service Manual, or reporting one of the following errors during device setup or infusion: 1) Cassette Check - D; 2) Cassette Check - P; 3) Proximal Occlusion; 4) Distal Occlusion; 5) Pressure Calibration Error; 6) Bad Pressure Sensor Event; 7) Bad Pressure State; 8) Distal Pressure is Out of Range; 9) Proximal Sensor is Out of Range. A pump with this issue may, instead of reporting an error, not detected occlusions or issue false occlusion alarms, which will stop the infusion and invoke visual and audible warnings to the user.
