Medtronic Paradigm Quick-Set Plus Insulin Infusion Sets
A California insulin pump manufacturer is recalling more than 160,000 infusion sets after hundreds of users were hospitalized for high blood-sugar levels. Medtronic MiniMed issued a recall of Paradigm Quick-set Plus brand insulin infusion sets after discovering the adhesive used to attach the tubing to a patient's body was coming loose on a number of pumps, causing the device to disconnect. Insulin flow was subsequently disconnected leading to elevated blood-sugar levels in about 200 diabetics.
Users of the Paradigm brand are advised to return the device immediately. If the pump must be used, blood-sugar levels should be monitored frequently.
