    Recalling Organisation: Nutricia Limited, 124 Favona Road, Favona, Auckland 2024
  • Reason
    The flocare infinity enteral feeding pump 'air in line' (ail) alarm functionality may not always work with mixed or reconstituted powdered nutrition. un-dissolved particles may accumulate in the enteral feeding line or form a film on the inner side of the tube, around the pump sensors, which may interfere with pump air detection algorithms.
