[QUOTE="aphex2k, post: 2183766, member: 912"] Just a quickie as I only was made aware of this last night. I had 2 pieces of plastic break off the pump on separate occasions. I assumed that the plastic pieces were coming off part of the reservoir. I had one night when the reservoir came unscrewed while I was asleep - so the pump thought I was getting insulin, but I wasn't. Hence super high BSL on waking. A member of a 670g user group pointed this warning: [URL]https://www.massdevice.com/medtronic-warns-patients-of-minimed-insulin-pump-safety-issue/?fbclid=IwAR3sPnYMky5zk0grfbIp-_yjVlAtO3Yx2-gjrZXsILhSFGP-gGhMijTcp2o[/URL] And last night I saw this: [URL]http://www.startribune.com/medtronic-says-600-series-minimed-insulin-pumps-have-potential-safety-risk/565302702/[/URL] I've just gone to change reservoir and 2 bits of plastic broke off but I think still it's the reservoir. I'll upload a pic in a minute. But to me, looking at the reservoir and the connector to the reservoir from the tubing, it looks like this is my particular issue. Whether this helps secure the tubing/reservoir into the pump, or some aesthetic reason, I'm not sure. What I'm furious about is seeing significant warning messages on websites and user groups, with absolutely no email, letter or phonecall from Medtronic. Both articles cite risk of hypo/hyper and even says someone died. It's not clear if this was in direct response to a faulty pump, but the warnings are there. I'm just curious as to if anyone in the UK has seen or heard the warnings or had any contact from Medtronic, of even if their care teams are aware? I will take a pic of the 2 pieces that have just broken off, and try to do a close shot of the new tubing I'm about to connect for reference. I don't wish to panic anyone, but I consider this a serious safety issue that people using the pumps should be aware of sooner, rather than a letter from Medtronic which may, or may not arrive.
