Reason for recall

Error messages 206 (yellow) and 208 (red) technical failure, flow measurement during use of the Novalung System imply that the communication between flow sensor and sensor box is interrupted. An interrupted communication between flow sensor and sensor box might lead to a disabled flow measurement and air bubble detection.

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.
