Description

ACCU-CHEK Spirit Combo insulin infusion pump sold as part of Accu-Chek Combo System Product Usage: The ACCU-CHEK Combo System is meant only for single-patient use; the device may not be used for screening or diagnosis of diabetes or for multiple patient use. It is indicated for the treatment of insulin requiring diabetes and for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from the finger. The ACCU-CHEK Spirit Combo Insulin Pump is intended for the subcutaneous continuous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin as prescribed by a physician.

Reason

The insulin pump may lose time and date settings during a power interruption (such as a battery change) due to a faulty capacitor. If the capacitor fails, the time and date will return to default setting. Though the pump prompts customers to confirm the time and date, if the user does not recognize the time and date have returned to default, a shift of their basal rate time block could occur.

Action

Roche sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter dated September 25, 2014 via UPS Ground (receipt required) to the consignees. The letter included a description of the reason for recall, affected product, consignee responsibilities, and instructions for responding to the formal recall notification. No product returns were expected. For questions, contact the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center at 1-800-688-4578.
