Reason

Manufacturer has identified an increase in reports of the tubing becoming detached at the connect/disconnect location. If tubing detachment occurs, insulin delivery is interrupted and the pump will not alarm to notify patients. The interruption of insulin delivery can cause hyperglycemia, which if left untreated, can result in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a serious condition that can cause a severe impact to health, including death. Symptoms of DKA may include nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath and excess thirst/urination. Manufacturer is advising patients to seek medical attention immediately if they are experiencing any of these symptoms.
