[QUOTE="jonathan183, post: 2519469, member: 491092"] Unfortunately all technology can fail and can also fail in ways which are unexpected. Insulin pumps and the control devices are not exempt - neither for that matter is mdi technology. Too little or too much insulin are both potentially dangerous so there is not really a true fail safe state - and even if there was it is not possible to design something as complex as an insulin pump to always fail in one direction. You may find the majority of insulin pump failures to result in low insulin delivery but that does not mean all insulin pump failures result in low insulin delivery. If you look on the net for fda insulin pump failures you will find some reports - most are old and technology has improved but there will still be failures ... ed: example product recall [URL='https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/medtronic-recalls-minimed-insulin-pumps-incorrect-insulin-dosing']here[/URL] [/QUOTE]
