Hazard: Possible cracks on the body of the fill port connector, which may result in a leak. If the leak is identified while the user is filling the pump, there may be a delay while an alternative pump is located. If the leak goes undetected it may result in a reduced level of drug delivery to the patient and consequently a lower level of pain relief than that prescribed or expected. This may result in the need for other, additional analgesic drug administration.

Hazard: The lidstock states the incorrect priming volume and flow rates.

Hazard: The products labeling contains inconsistencies. In certain instances, the lidstock, banner card and shipper label state that the Spring Wire Guide (SWG) within is .032 rather than the correct SWG size .025 . For other lots in scope the lidstock correctly states the SWG size .025 however the banner card states the incorrect SWG size .032 .
