Understanding Omnipod Insulin Pump Product Complications
The lawyers at Johnson//Becker have provided the list below as an overview of the possible risks associated with certain recalled lot numbers of the Omnipod 5 Insulin Pump Pods:
- According to the FDA, “Certain Pods from specific lots may have a small tear in the internal tubing that delivers insulin. If this occurs, insulin may leak inside the Pod instead of being fully infused into the body as intended.”
- The FDA also stated that “If insulin is not delivered properly, users may experience high blood glucose levels due to under-delivery of insulin. In the most severe cases, prolonged and persistent high blood glucose levels can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious medical condition that requires prompt medical treatment.”
- Insulet, in announcing their voluntary recall, stated the current malfunction in the product “..Could lead to under-delivery of insulin.” This could pose as a serious health and safety hazard, and even a risk of death to consumers.
- Insulet has warned users to check the lot numbers on each individual Pod tray lid prior to use to determine if the Pod is affected by the recall. There may be multiple Pods from impacted lots within the same box.
What are the Omnipod Insulin Pump Pods? Have they been recalled?
Yes. Certain lots of the Omnipod Insulin Pump Pods have been recalled.
The Omnipod 5 pods are tubeless and wearable automated insulin pumps that are intended to be used by individuals with Diabetes. The sensors adjust the delivery of insulin automatically, with the intention to help manage against both high and low sugar levels.
The Pods are designed to integrate with the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems, Dexcom G6 as well as the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor when paired with the Omnipod 5 App.
This voluntary Insulin Pump Pod recall is not related to the Nov. 20, 2023 software error recall in regard to the Omnipod 5 App that failed to register amounts >1 correctly.
