REASON
Through customer complaints, Hospira has become aware that in GemStar (Phase 3) infusion pumps, list numbers 13000, 13100, 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 (“code 10/001/000”). This Beeper Error (code 10/001/000) is a service alarm that places the pump in an inoperable mode and requires service before it can be returned to service.
