  • Cause
    Risk of under- or over-delivery of insulin, which may lead to hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia, with a consequent loss of consciousness or death, in extreme cases. the root causes are: spillage from the insulin reservoir may block connector vents, preventing correct priming of the pump.  medtronic have issued advice on the correct technique for filling the reservoir. the insulin reservoir may leak, due to a manufacturing defect, which may result in under delivery of insulin and failure of the pump’s occlusion alarm. medtronic have initiated a recall of affected reservoirs.
  • Action
