Why it was recalled

System error 9 alarms. A System Error 9 alarm indicates a potential pressure loss in the pump cassette delivery chamber (chamber closest to the patient). This alarm is generated during the pumps initiation sequence and will not allow the set to be used. This requires a new set to be obtained, thus creating a potential for delay in therapy.
