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) can interrupt insulin delivery without an alarm, posing a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling 13,041 boxes of ACCU-CHEK Tender II 13/110 infusion sets (Catalog 04541456001, Lot 5052067). The product was distributed nationwide in the United States. 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 product is intended for the infusion and/or injection of fluids into the body below the surface of the skin.

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