Insulin pump recall lawyers are products liability attorneys dedicated to fighting for the rights of diabetics who have been seriously injured as a result of using the defective insulin pumps manufactured by the Animas Corporation or Medtronic, Inc. Intended to efficiently administer precise doses of insulin to patients in a timely manner, insulin pumps have been found to have some design defects that cause the devices to deliver too little or too much insulin, which can result in serious health complications, such as:
- hypoglycemia, dangerously low levels of blood sugar (glucose)
- hyperglycemia, excessively high levels of blood glucose
- diabetic ketoacidosis, excessive levels of ketones in the blood as a result of the body breaking down its own fats
The specific defects reported in insulin pumps include:
- defective battery caps in Anima insulin pumps that caused the devices to reset and, eventually, led to a national recall in November 2008
- defective cannulas (small tubes connected to the pump and that deliver insulin to the patients) that were bending or disconnecting from the pumps and caused a nationwide recall in July 2009.
