REASON
An increased trend in reports of keypad issues which have occurred during implementation or shortly after first being placed into use. These issues may render the Pump inoperable or the Pump may not respond to certain keypad button presses. These issues can be intermittent. Smiths Medical has not received any reports of patient injuries. Our investigations to date have concluded that this keypad issue is associated with short circuits in the keypad as a result of a change in manufacturing of the keypad connectors (the connectors connect the keypad to other electronics in the Pump). The changes in manufacturing have created a condition which appears to allow short circuits within the connector when buttons on the keypad are activated. Not all Pumps exhibit these issues.
