Why it was recalled
If the pump retainer ring breaks, the reservoir may become loose and may not lock into the pump.
Hazard
If the retainer ring is damaged, loose or missing, this may lead to under delivery of insulin, which may cause hyperglycemia. If a user inserts the reservoir back in while the infusion set is still connected to the body, there may be a rapid infusion of insulin, which may cause hypoglycemia or death.
