Reason for Recall / Hazard
The gold battery cap contact may fall off when the user is charging the battery.

This will result in the alarm escalating to a siren and then the pump will shut down and will not power up.
Product Description & Identification
Reason / Defects: The gold battery cap contact may fall off when the user is charging the battery. If the contact falls off, the 'Insert battery' alarm will not clear automatically when the user inserts a new AA battery as the circuit is not complete.

Hazards: If insulin delivery is suspended, this may lead to major hyperglycemia which can result in serious health complications. In severe cases of hyperglycemia, the user may experience diabetic ketoacidosis and may require hospitalisation or intervention from a medical professional. What to do: Medtronic will contact affected users in writing to advise them of the issue. Consumers are advised to follow the interim actions outlined in the customer letter and to have an alternate means of insulin therapy available.
