[QUOTE="anna29, post: 737394, member: 30936"] Please check via your GP/DSN Hospital/Diabetes Clinic . If you are using an Accu-check Spirit Combo Insulin Pump . Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Is asking people with a particular insulin pump to check the clock re-sets to the correct time and date when they change the battery or when the power is interrupted . A fault with the Accu-check Spirit Combo Insulin Pump means if the power is interrupted eg. during a battery change, the pump will re-set to the default date and time . If this change goes unnoticed it may affect the time of insulin delivery . John Wilkinson MHRA's Director of Medical Devices said . "It is vital that people should check their pumps after an interruption in power supply . "People should not stop using these pumps, or switch to an alternative device, without discussing it with an healthcare professional . "If the pump is affected by this fault , people should seek a replacement at the earliest opportunity by contacting Roche 0800 701 000 . We continue to encourage people to report any issues involving medical devices to the MHRA via our Yellow Card Scheme . Ensuring the correct level of insulin is vitally important in the management of diabetes . People using these pumps should contact the manufacturer for a replacement if they experience any problems. If they have any concerns about their level of insulin they should consult with their diabetes care team . Please do check your insulin pump if using the Accu-check Spirit Combo Insulin Pump (Roche) Vist/Contact your GP/DSN if in any doubt or unsure . Ring Roche 0800 701 000 if it is clear your pump has been affected . [/QUOTE]
