Class II
Tubing may detach at the connect/disconnect location on the MiniMed Silhouette and MiniMed Sure-T infusion sets. Detachment causes interrupted insulin delivery and the pump will not alarm to notify your patient. This can lead to hyperglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
This field correction involves all models of Silhouette and Sure-T insulin infusion sets.
