Recalled Products

Gemstar Docking Station 

Reason

The Gemstar stations do not meet the Hospira product specification for output voltage. Under certain conditions, the potential exists for the pump to fail to power up while connected to the docking station. Moreover under a specific configuration, the pump will display error code 11/003 indicating excessive input voltage from the external sources. This code will stop infusion if the error occurs while an infusion is in progress.
