More than 200 people with diabetes were injured after technology defect caused their insulin pump to unexpectedly shut down, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The software glitch has prompted the recall of more than 85,000 versions of a mobile app, called t:connect and developed by Tandem Diabetes Care, the FDA noted on Wednesday.
The Apple iOS-based software recall involves Version 2.7 of the mobile app, which works with the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology. The issue can cause the app to continuously crash and restart, draining the pump's battery.
