However, a recent CNN article reported on a device that delivered incorrect insulin doses due to a missing or broken retainer ring. The mishap led to the recall of roughly 322,000 devices. The product in question is Medtronic’s MiniMed 600 Series that accumulated 26,421 complaints related to device malfunctions including 2,175 injuries and one death.
