Disetronic Recalls D-TRONplus Power Packs used in D-TRONplus Insulin Pumps
Disetronic Medical Systems Inc. announced today a voluntary nationwide recall of the Disetronic D-TRONplus power packs that power the D-TRONplus insulin pump (a product which is no longer available for sales in the U.S.). There is the real potential that the power pack could shut down the D-TRONplus Insulin Pump without any warning. If that happens, insulin delivery is interrupted which may lead to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, resulting in hyperglycemia, which may in turn lead to serious patient injury and/or death. This is an Urgent Device Correction notification to health care professionals and their patients not requiring product removal at this time.
This is a temporary fix to the power pack problem until adequate supplies of the corrected battery can be obtained. If you are a physician or a patient who has experienced a problem with any Disetronic D-TRONplus Power Packs, please notify Disetronic at 1-800-688-4578.
