Plain-English summary
The FDA is recalling 1,679 units of the VariSoft infusion set (Model Number 1002828) manufactured by Unomedical A/S. The product is used with Tandem insulin pumps to deliver insulin to patients with diabetes.
A manufacturing defect causes damage to the connector piece of the infusion set. This damage makes the connector more likely to disconnect unintentionally, requiring less force to separate than the design intended.
If a patient does not notice the disconnection, the insulin pump will not deliver basal insulin doses. This missed dosing can result in elevated blood glucose and ketone levels, particularly during sleep, potentially leading to diabetic ketoacidosis—a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
Patients or healthcare providers who have this product should stop using it and consult their healthcare provider about replacement options.
