Insulin Cartridge Recall

Tandem Diabetes Care has recalled some insulin cartridges used with the t:slim Insulin Pump. Affected cartridges could be at risk of leaking, which could lead to the device delivering too much or too little insulin, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.

Affected lots were shipped on or after 17 Dec 2013, representing about 4,746 boxes, with 10 cartridges per box, or 47,460 cartridges in total, the FDA said. The recall had not been associated with any adverse effects or complaints, the FDA said, but was identified through internal testing.
