Insulet announced a voluntary Field Safety Notification for 15 lots of the OmniPod distributed in the U.S. and three lots distributed internationally since September 2015.
The Notification was issued due to increased reports of the OmniPod’s needle mechanism that failed to deploy or a delay in the deployment. Failure of the needle to deploy results in the insulin not being delivered. This interruption of insulin delivery may lead to hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis.
