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

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

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a medical device defect that interrupts insulin delivery without an alarm, posing a significant risk of harm to patients.

Plain-English summary

Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling 13,041 boxes of ACCU-CHEK Tender II 13/60 infusion sets. The recall involves catalog number 04541464001 and lots 5044364 and 5058502. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States.

The recall was initiated after Roche Diabetes Care was informed by UnoMedical, the manufacturer of the infusion sets, about a potential for the tubing to become detached at the connect/disconnect location. If this detachment occurs, insulin delivery is interrupted, and the pump will not alarm to notify the user.

Consumers who have these specific infusion sets should stop using them and contact Roche Diagnostics for further instructions.
