Reason for recall
Software issue only allows Concentration Limits to be defined to one digit of precision past the decimal point (0.1) instead of three digits (0.001). If the user is unable to use Concentration Limits as intended, they may need to change the limits to something other than what is recommended by the drug manufacturer, which may result in over- or under-delivery.
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.
