Reason
PC Unit Model 8000, when used with Pump or Syringe modules, may under certain conditions display an incorrect total dose when programmed to deliver bolus dose. The Pump or Syringe module delivers the actual programmed bolus dose (and associated volume to be infused) regardless of the displayed total bolus dose. This can cause confusion leading to improper treatment potentially causing injury or death.
