Tandem Diabetes Care®, Inc announced a recall this month of their insulin cartridges that are used with the t:slim® Insulin Pump. During an internal product testing the company determined the cartridges may be at risk of leaking.
According to Tandem if a customer/patient is delivered too much or too little insulin this problem can lead to a serious adverse event. The 4,746 cartridges that were shipped on or after December 17, 2013 have a label that includes the lot number. Check that label with the below lot numbers and do not use those cartridges.
