Reason

Hospira has received reports of customers experiencing air-in-line alarms related to administration sets that have a drip chamber with a ball valve. Preliminary investigation findings found that there is a potential for the ball valve to not seal the drip chamber as intended, leading to air in the line of the administration set.
