Why these products were recalled

The action is being initiated due to potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities related to a series of insulin pumps that are designed to communicate using a wireless radio frequency (RF). An unauthorized person could potentially connect wirelessly to a nearby insulin pump to change settings and control insulin delivery.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
