Reason for Recall
It was determined that in a small quantity of ON-Q pumps with ONDEMAND, the bolus button may not lock in the down position when depressed and/or the orange bolus refill indicator may stay in the lowermost position. As a result, the patient may receive continuous infusion at a rate greater than expected.
