    In affected products, the tubing outer diameter may vary in size or the length of tubing may be too short. Both issues may lead to false air-in-line alarms, which will stop the infusion and interrupt therapy. Interruptions or delays in medication administration may result in serious injury to patients which may be life-threatening (e.g. interruption of a vasopressor to a hemodynamically unstable patient) or may lead to death.
