I just wanted to let the users of these products know about the recall

Is this a new one because this already was in the news and they started resending out new and safe batches once again (at least Animas did)?
Except it was for IV Prep…

I just wanted anyone who used those products to know about the recall. I don’t use them (I’m kinda a old fashion diabetic) but I know that many of our member’s use them. I only check my p.o. box 1 time a week (wewnt a little over this past week though) I didn’t want this too to affect their health.

If this is the old recall, this makes Medtronic slow (not your mail checking!).
