Why it was recalled

The pump shuts down unexpectedly if Error 115, an alarm associated with a watchdog timer timeout, is triggered. There has been an increase of Error 115 occurrences due to a software defect caused by a Healthcare Provider using a Clinician Programmer, Software Version 2.00.29, to program a Bridge or Demand bolus while the pump is set to either a Periodic Flow or Multiple Rates flow mode. Error 115 can also occur if dendrites form or if the pump is dropped.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
