Recall Details

Company:
Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.
Reason for Recall:
The insulin pump may lose time and date settings during a power interruption (such as a battery change) due to a faulty capacitor. If the capacitor fails, the time and date will return to default setting. Though the pump prompts customers to confirm the time and date, if the user does not recognize the time and date have returned to default, a shift of their basal rate time block could occur.
Classification:
Class I - Dangerous

Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.

Status:
terminated
