Why it was recalled

There have been reported incidents of a loose reservoir that can no longer be locked into the pump. The reservoir can become loose due to a broken or missing retainer ring that prevents a proper lock. If the reservoir is not properly locked into the pump, it could lead to over or under delivery of insulin, which could then result in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level: there is a reasonable probability that using this product will cause serious harm or death.
