Recall details

Recalling firm

Insulet Corporation

Reason for recall

The bolus calculator is not recording the decimal point if it is the first value entered when changing a bolus dose. This may lead to an over-delivery of insulin to the user if the user does not recognize the error on the bolus calculator screen or the confirmation screen prior to starting the bolus.

Action taken

An URGENT: Medical Device Correction notification letter was sent customers on 11/30/23 via email. How do you avoid giving the wrong bolus amount? 1. When changing a bolus dose to less than 1 unit, always enter a zero (0) before the decimal (e.g., enter 0.3 instead of .3) (Figure 1) 2. Always check the bolus amount shown in the Total Bolus box before tapping CONFIRM 3. Double-check the amount on the Confirm Bolus screen (Figure 2) to make sure this is the amount you want to deliver before pressing START to deliver the bolus 4. Check the amount again while the bolus is in progress on the Delivering Bolus screen (Figure 3) As stated in our User Guide, it is important to review the bolus amount before you confirm and start the bolus. The Omnipod 5 App will always deliver the amount you confirm and that is shown on the Confirm Bolus screen (Figure 2). This amount can also be checked while the bolus is in progress on the Delivering Bolus screen (Figure 3). If it s not the amount you expected, you can always CANCEL the bolus. To check how much insulin has been delivered, check the Last Bolus box on the home screen or your History Detail. When will the issue be fixed?
