Reason

Smiths Medical became aware of an unanticipated behavior in certain Medfusion 3500 and 4000 Syringe Pumps. If a bolus or loading dose is interrupted and a specific sequence of events occurs, inappropriate delivery (over or under-delivery of a bolus or loading dose) may occur. This issue has only been seen at two facilities in the United States.
