Reason for Recall
New or replacement insulin pumps are not pre-programmed with basal rates or other verified settings (bolus wizard settings, sensor settings, etc.), which must be set up and saved on pumps prior to use. Patients who do not realize this will receive no basal insulin, which can lead to insulin under-delivery. Insulin under-delivery can cause severe hyperglycemia, which may lead to diabetic ketoacidosis. Current device labeling does not clearly identify that these insulin pumps are capable of functioning with the default basal setting of 0.0 units/hr for all 24 hours and that no error message will appear if the default basal setting remains active. Furthermore, the labeling for the affected devices does not highlight that saving the basal settings requires multiple steps and failure to complete all steps will not save the new basal settings, nor that the steps required to set and save a basal profile and other parameters which are used as part of the bolus calculator function are different.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.
Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.
What Should You Do?
Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
