Why is there a Medtronic insulin pump recall?

Medtronic Insulin Pump Recall Attorneys - Riddle & BrantleyAccording to the FDA, certain Medtronic MiniMed 600 Series Insulin Pumps may have a missing or broken retainer ring, which helps lock the insulin cartridge into place. If the insulin cartridge is not properly secured, it may result in the over or under-delivery of insulin, potentially resulting in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

Severe hyperglycemia can result in loss of consciousness, seizure, and even death.
