Reason for recall

This may occur as a result of incorrect administration set setup and/or incomplete resolution of upstream occlusion alarms when using Spectrum V8 and Spectrum IQ infusion pumps.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
