    If infusion pump is dropped or severely jarred this may damage the pump module bezel assembly, which can cause under-infusion, over-infusion, unregulated flow, or pump module failure to calibrate; so dropped/jarred pumps should be removed from use, tested, and inspected by qualified service personnel prior to reuse; tip sheet, cleaning and disinfecting procedure and reference guide updated.
