I said Yes but I’m not 100% sure if mine was. I had a Medtronic 670g with the clear retainer ring. I know the FDA was upset with them for not doing a full recall on it; instead Medtronic was only replacing those pumps that had an issue with it. Later on I believe they did do a full recall but I don’t know if that was something the FDA insisted on.
I was going to say “no”, but I said “other.” I am not aware of, or don’t remember any recalls. I’ve used Medtronic and Tandem pumps over the years.
Yes-Medtronic and it’s annoying! It was recalled after I quit using it, but I still get notices I’m required to sign, and I always mention that I no longer use this device(for several years!).
Same here. It’s frustrating, I finally blocked Medtronic.
Pretty sure they haven’t been recalled.
Yes, my 670g but I continued to use it as I had not had any trouble with it
I said no, but I was using a Minimed 670G and then switched to a 770G
Yes for the Medtronic 670 retainer ring. Also, the battery cap is destined to failure so Medtronic sent a spare, though mine hasn’t failed yet.
Not sure about FDA but minimed replaced my pump a couple years ago for a safety issue with the l9cking ring
I said no but I was using the Medtronic 670G. I switched to Tandem and haven’t used the Medtronic for a year now.
I’m thinking that it was the MiniMed Remote that was recalled but was that because the FDA required it because of a problem? And when my current Medtronic 630G required a replacement for the ring on the reservoir….not sure if this was an FDA retirement but Medtronic replaced the entire pump.
LOL—–I meant requirement….NOT retirement……
I have a medtronic 630 and it has been on the recall list basically since I got it. They replace faulty parts or sit and argue over the phone with you about the issues. If it gets recalled they should have to upgrade us for free, not just keep replacing it with refurbished ones.
My Insulet Omnipod Dash PDM was recalled/replaced due to battery expansion/fire concerns. The process took several months to complete. Fortunately, I didn’t need the PDM due to using Loop on my iPhone, though I had carried it with me on trips in case my phone died, got misplaced, or stolen.
Medtronic, they replaced the pump with a new pump. No issues, luckily. But, I no longer use that pump anyway.
No, but I did have a commonly reported problem with some pods and there was a lack of transparency from the manufacturer. I was disappointed that the FDA was non-responsive.
At least not when I using it.
I haven’t seen any notifications from the FDA regarding my devices.
IN the past, Medtronic pump was recalled for a cracked reservoir ring issue. Mine was not cracked so I did not return it.
My medtronic pump was recalled just as I was switching to tandem. But it wasn’t the FDA.
Medtronic recalled my pump because they noticed that a piece of the pump was coming loose.
