Adam, there is one reported death with a Medtronic pump. Medtronic has more sales people on the ground to overcome this fact. I have been pumping for 2.5 years and the Medtronic death is the only one I was able to find. I also had my attorney daughter research pump litigation - she found Medtronic was the only one sued PERIOD. Everyone else plays very conservative and safe.
i have the animas. this kinda creeped me out considering the fact im only 13
Anna, Medtronic is greedy. Animas keeps things safe. Do not be creeped out.
I’ve never heard of this happening, and didn’t receive this notification from Animas with my Ping, which I got in October. I’m guessing that this is something that’s happened once, recently, and now they feel they must tell all new customers about it? I wouldn’t worry - I don’t think this is common (again, I’ve never heard of this happening).
I got mine yesterday and I didnt get that notice in my box. Strange
