Why it was recalled

Symbiq Infusers have the potential to experience a white screen during titration of a Keep Vein Open (KVO) delivery. This can allow the clinician to select the "NEXT" button prior to completion of the programming. If this error occurs, a delay in therapy could occur and potentially result in significant injury.

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