United StatesTandem Mobi Insulin Pumps (Control‑IQ models) running software versions 7.6.0.1, 7.6.0.3, or 7.7.0.1 are included in the recall and can be identified by those software versions and the listed catalog/UDI‑DI numbers. They were recalled because a software issue can cause a false vibration motor failure and trigger Malfunction 12 — stopping insulin delivery and any active CGM sessions — which could result in hyperglycemia.
What's being recalled
Tandem Mobi Insulin Pump: Description/Catalog: Tandem insulin pumps are battery-operated infusion pumps capable of both basal and bolus delivery of insulin. The pumps utilize a motor-driven mechanism to deliver insulin from within a disposable cartridge, through an infusion set, into a patient s subcutaneous tissue.

The hazard
Insulin pump includes a vibration motor that gives tactile feedback for any alerts, alarms, or malfunctions. Pump may exhibit false vibration motor failure due to a software issue causing Malfunction 12: "Pump cannot operate, the mobile app can no longer receive data from the pump. Insulin delivery and any active CGM Sessions have been stopped", which could result in hyperglycemia.
