GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, by letter dated October 4, 2007. Firm initiated recall is complete.
REASON
It was reported that when the GE Precision 500D foot pedal is repeatedly activated, a defect in the fluoro-timer will cause the dose measurement to report a higher value than was actually received by the patient. Patient will receive a lower dosage irradiation time which will result in indication of cumulative air kerma higher than that to which the patient was actually exposed.

RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER
Smiths Medical MD, Inc., Saint Paul, MN, by letter on February 22, 2008. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON
Smith Medical has received reports of Deltec Cozmo® Insulin Pumps powering down without an alarm. Investigation concluded that if the battery cap is not fully tightened, the Pump may power down and a brief "chirp" will sound. This may occur if the user has not sufficiently tightened the battery cap or if the battery cap is damaged. If a patient is asleep or does not regularly check their blood glucose, as trained, there is a potential risk of harm to the patient if the Pump's powering down goes unnoticed. When the Pump is powered down, delivery of insulin is interrupted.
