Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

This one pump shipped with incorrect pump programming, the initial production working version of the program. The pump would have immediately run at P9 for all selected P-levels, rather than a 10 second ramp up period. The pump may have migrated out of position and possibly caused injury. The positioning and suction alarms were also disabled.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
