Why these products were recalled

Insulin pumps may have the following issues: 1) Malfunction 6 Non-Volatile Memory, 2) Inaccurate (Fluctuating) Battery Life Display, 3) Touchscreen Staying On, 4) Unexpected Open Loop, that can be mitigated with a software update. Issues could result in hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis.

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.
