So 214 people let the battery on their (USB Rechargeable) insulin pump die and reported it to the FDA…
Then again Tandem is kind of a shitty company. They based their algorithm in part on data from insulin pumps that had been returned to the manufacture for a software update. Without consent.
Switched from an industry standard luer-lock connector to a proprietary one after purchase. Then required all supply ordering to go through their own sales department and a single manufacturer.
Camped on the design for a small portable pump they patented back in 2012 until there was a viable competitor with innovative technology.
You know what… I think I have a phone call to make :-)
Sad Pattern? This seems less dark and more pathetic…
