REASON

The pump shuts down unexpectedly if Error 115, an alarm associated with a watchdog timer timeout, is triggered. There has been an increase of Error 115 occurrences due to a software defect caused by a Healthcare Provider using a Clinician Programmer, Software Version 2.00.29, to program a Bridge or Demand bolus while the pump is set to either a Periodic Flow or Multiple Rates flow mode.

Error 115 can also occur if dendrites form or if the pump is dropped.
