Reason
In Gemstar (Phase 3) infusion pumps, list numbers 13000 and 13150, the connection between the beeper subassembly and the pump may fail. The Gemstar infusion pump will identify this failure during the "self-test" while powering up which will result in a beeper error (X100). This beeper error (X100) is a service alarm that places the pump in an inoperable mode and requires service before it can be returned to service.
