Reason for recall

There have been intermittent issues with Supercap POST (power on self-test) and Backup Audible Alarm error codes outside of the pump warranty period. These alarms occur at start up when the pump goes through the self-test. This recall occurred in 2015.

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.
