Insulin cartridge recall
February 10, 2014
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.
