Plain-English summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class II recall for the Autopen Classic Automatic insulin delivery pen, manufactured by Owen Mumford USA, Inc. The affected product is a non-sterile automatic subcutaneous injection device used to deliver insulin. The recall covers 225 units of the device, specifically Lot 7JH, NDC 08470-3800-01, and UPC Code 384703800014.
The recall was initiated because the dials on the Autopen devices are not functioning correctly. The dial does not stay in the selected position and springs back to 0. As a result, patients are unable to dial up the correct dose of medicine to deliver via injection. This defect prevents the proper administration of insulin.
The affected units were distributed nationwide, including in Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, and Tennessee. Consumers who possess this specific lot of the Autopen Classic Automatic insulin delivery pen should stop using the device and contact Owen Mumford USA, Inc. for further instructions or a replacement.
