Why these products were recalled

Potential for the syringe barrel clamp mechanism to loosen, decreasing the pump's ability to accurately detect the diameter of the syringe barrel, resulting in the unit to initiate the "Invalid Syringe Size" alarm.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
