Roche Recalls ACCU-CHEK Tender I Infusion Sets Due to Tubing Detachment Risk

Roche Diagnostics is recalling ACCU-CHEK Tender I infusion sets because the tubing may detach, interrupting insulin delivery without an alarm.

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 where a defect (tubing detachment) interrupts insulin delivery without an alarm, posing a significant risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report specific injuries or fatalities.

Plain-English summary

Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling 13,041 boxes of ACCU-CHEK Tender I 13/60 infusion sets. The recall was initiated after the manufacturer, UnoMedical, identified a potential for the tubing to become detached at the connect/disconnect location on the infusion sets.

If the tubing detaches, insulin delivery is interrupted. The source text notes that the pump will not alarm to notify the user if this detachment occurs. The affected products are identified by Catalog 04541405001 and Lots 5044359 and 5061929.

These infusion sets were distributed nationwide in the United States. Consumers should stop using the affected infusion sets and contact Roche Diagnostics for further instructions or a replacement.
