The FDA has issued a statement following the Class I recall for an IOS app used in conjunction with insulin pumps after 224 injuries were reported. The mobile app in question is version 2.7 of t:connect, which functions with the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology. While the FDA says the recall is a correction rather than a product removal, more than 86,000 devices have already been recalled in the U.S. According to the FDA, Tandem Diabetes Care Inc.
This leads to excessive Bluetooth communication which could drain the battery life of the insulin pump, causing it to shut down abruptly. Such a shutdown could delay insulin delivery to the body and cause life-threatening injuries and conditions like hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. The FDA statement said Tandem Diabetes Care Inc. sent all affected users a letter which requested they update the software to version 2.7.
