ACCU-CHEK Tender II Infusion Sets Recalled for Tubing Detachment Risk

Roche Diagnostics is recalling ACCU-CHEK Tender II infusion sets because 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 risk of harm to the patient. This fits the rubric 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 II 13/80 10 + 10 pieces infusion sets. The recall involves catalog number 04541472001 and lots 5053291 and 5078661. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States.

The recall was initiated after UnoMedical, the manufacturer of the infusion sets, informed Roche Diabetes Care of 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 should stop using the affected infusion sets immediately. The source text does not specify additional consumer instructions or contact information for returns or replacements.
