The pump’s flow restrictor piece on flawed devices may become displaced and allow a higher rate of medication to be dispersed, which could cause death or other serious consequences, according to the release.

Affected kits were distributed between Sept. 10, 2012, and Feb. 11, 2013. Symbios is asking customers to set this product aside, complete a verification form and return the product.
