| Issue: | During infusions at flow rates of 1mL/hr or less, the motor assembly may rotate backwards (roll-back), capturing additional medication that will be delivered resulting in over-infusion. Additionally, users may receive X09/001 backward motor movement alarms during the device's Power On Self Test (POST) or during an infusion. This alarm will invoke visual and audible warnings to the user and the infusion will not begin or stop, resulting in a delay or interruption in therapy. |
