Dear Customer / Health Professional,

Fresenius Kabi has identified a potential risk with the wall plug of the AMIKA nutrition pump.

In some cases, when the Wall plug falls to the ground, when handling the Wall plug, or when
disconnecting it from the mains, the housing can break, thus potentially leaving the electronics
as partly unprotected.
If the problem appears when Wall plug is connected to the mains, there is a risk of electric
shock or electrocution for the user, in case he/she accidentally touches the small live parts
inside.
