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. This poses a significant risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling 13,041 boxes of ACCU-CHEK Tender I 17/110 infusion sets. The recall was initiated after the manufacturer, UnoMedical, identified a potential for the tubing to become detached at the connect/disconnect location.
