Reason for Recall
Depleted Battery alarm shows instead of Replace Battery. On battery power, ongoing therapy stops, alarms show and sound, pump shuts down after 3 minutes. On AC power, the pump reboots (takes about 25 seconds). Therapy can resume. AC power interruption of 3-7 seconds prompts an incorrect E323 alarm, ongoing therapy stop, and pump reboot. Longer power loss results in battery power operation.
