Asante Conset Infusion Set Recalled for Tubing Disconnects

Asante Solutions is recalling 1,085 Conset Infusion Sets because tubing may disconnect from the connector, causing insulin leakage and under-dosing.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device defect that results in under-dosing of insulin, a high-risk medication, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, serious injuries, or deaths, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Asante Solutions, Inc. is recalling 1,085 units of the Asante Conset Infusion Set with tubing and 9mm cannula.
