Medtronic Announces Voluntary Recall of Diabetes Infusion Sets

Medtronic has started to inform patients worldwide of a voluntary recall of infusion sets used with all models of Medtronic insulin pumps. The recall is related to a certain discontinued component in these infusion sets. The company determined, through recent analysis, that a component, the vent membrane, in the recalled infusion sets may be susceptible to being blocked by fluid during the process of priming/fill-tubing. This situation can lead to potential over-delivery of insulin shortly after an infusion set change, which may cause hypoglycemia. Currently manufactured infusion sets, available to patients since April 2017, include a design update of this component which the company believes reduces the risk of insulin over-delivery after an infusion set change.
