Medtronic is developing two concurrent field actions related to medtronic's paradigm infusion system, one for safety and another for recall. a) the first relates to a safety problem that may occur if insulin or other fluids come into contact with the medtronic paradigm infusion set connector. exposure from the inside of the infusion set connector to the insulin may occur if the insulin is spilled on top of the insulin reservoir when the reservoir is removed from the blue transfer shield after filling the reservoir from an insulin bottle. if this occurs, insulin may temporarily block the openings in the connector that allow the pump to function properly. if the openings are blocked, this can probably result in the delivery of more or less insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, which in extreme cases can lead to loss of consciousness or death. b) the second field action refers to the collection of some batches of reservoirs, model mmt-326a and mmt-332, used with the paradigm insulin infusion pumps, due to the risk of leakage. a leak in the reservoir may result in the delivery of less insulin than is programmed, and if there is an occlusion in the infusion set, the pump may not report through the alarm.

A) the company advises that, in order to prevent insulin from blocking the connector openings, the user should: 1. After filling the reservoir, ensure that the insulin bottle is kept upright when removing the insulin shield reservoir. blue transfer. This prevents insulin from inadvertently leading to the top of the reservoir, which could transfer the insulin into the infusion set connector. Hold the insulin bottle upright when removing the reservoir. 2. If any liquid (such as insulin, isopropyl alcohol, or water) reaches the top of the reservoir or the inside of the infusion set connector, start again with a new reservoir and infusion set. B) As for the reservoir, it is important that the user verify that the batch numbers of all MMT-326A and MMT-332A reservoirs in their possession are listed in the letter attached to this alert. You can also check the batch number of your reservoirs at the following site http://www.medtronic-diabetes.info to confirm whether your reservoirs are included or not in this action. If all reservoirs held by the user are involved in the recall, the company recommends that the use be immediately stopped and the user to use syringe or pen for the administration of insulin, as prescribed by their physician until that receives new reservoirs. The company directs that any reservoir that has not been used and included in this recall should be discarded, but that the bar code label of the container box or the individual containers of the containers should be maintained since these will be required to submit an order of reservoir replacement. Reservoirs whose batches are not listed in this alert can be used. The company informs that it will replace all the reservoirs of the affected lots at no cost.
