Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. is recalling 1,440 Simplera Sensors (model MMT-5100JD1) because the device cap label may not adhere properly to the sensor. This defect can compromise the sensor's sterility, exposing the user to a potential risk of infection. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date regarding this issue.
If the cap label fails to stick, the sensor is no longer maintained in a sterile environment. Using a non-sterile sensor increases the risk of developing an infection at the site where the sensor is inserted into the body.
