Insulet Recalls Omnipod DASH Insulin Systems Due to Bolus Calculation Error

Insulet is recalling 400 Omnipod DASH insulin systems because the Bolus Calculator may fail to subtract insulin on board correctly after two months of use.

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 intended for insulin delivery where a calculation error could lead to incorrect dosing. This fits the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Insulet Corporation is recalling 400 units of the Omnipod DASH Insulin Management System (mg/dL configuration), Catalog Number PT000010. The affected units are identified by UDI PT - 000010 - 10385082000139 and Lot Number L000202. These products were distributed to Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK.

The recall is due to a software issue in the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM). After the device has been in use for approximately two months, data processing can slow down, causing the Bolus Calculator to fail to accurately subtract the correct amount of insulin on board (IOB) before suggesting a bolus amount.

Consumers who have these specific units should stop using the affected PDM for bolus calculations and contact Insulet Corporation for instructions on how to proceed.
