Recall details

Recalling firm
Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.
Reason for recall
The insulin pump may lose time and date settings during a power interruption (such as a battery change) due to a faulty capacitor. If the capacitor fails, the time and date will return to default setting. Though the pump prompts customers to confirm the time and date, if the user does not recognize the time and date have returned to default, a shift of their basal rate time block could occur.
Action taken
Roche sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter dated September 25, 2014 via UPS Ground (receipt required) to the consignees. The letter included a description of the reason for recall, affected product, consignee responsibilities, and instructions for responding to the formal recall notification. No product returns were expected. For questions, contact the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center at 1-800-688-4578.
