Reason for recall
Tubing may detach at the connect/disconnect location on the MiniMed Silhouette and MiniMed Sure-T infusion sets. Detachment causes interrupted insulin delivery and the pump will not alarm to notify your patient. This can lead to hyperglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
