You all know me and if there is something that characterizes me is to say clear things.
They have already been several times that by third parties I have received messages that if Medtronic will report me, if they have to do it.It hurts to see, listen, feel, and I can not assure you as people who appreciate a lot, suffer the imperfections of insulin microinfusters, know how children, adolescents and adults are sometimes complicated by life for situations related toThis product.What could be normal, have to be looking all day if there are bubbles.
There is some laboratory that seems that you only care to sell, sell and sell, it is true that is your job and end, make money, they are private companies and I recognize that they have to do it, but they must also listen more to the people who havediabetes and put solutions to the problems that are generated, in addition to selling, selling and selling, and stopping rolls of artificial pancreas and others when they know perfectly that there are never an insulin that their action is practically immediate and a real -time MCGTotally exact this may happen, well if there can be Russian mountains that will destroy our veins more than if we smoking without stopping.
Machines that are not economical, machines that sometimes instead of helping a lot complicate.When you know people, either by networks or physically, and tears are skipped for impotence and not little.People advise me "because you don't get so much in the lives of others and live yours, if your machine is doing well enjoy it and that's it", because I will never do that and I will always try to help everyoneThat I can and more, always with the truth ahead and everyone who wants will have me at their disposal.
When a person is not well and that explodes for everything and this happens to me on Thursday, I did not explode but exploded, when I heard how they gave the solution of the bubbles to a partner and saw her as her eyes were loaded,And he saw his partner's face saying if I play them.Well, the Medtronic commercial solution was put in the bra and face down, okay and if you don't use?You have to fuck, or is that also because of the human temperature, what happens that the other users of the Animas Vibe microinfusora are dead?This is shameful.

“Medtronic has sent a warning note to health professionals, insurers and patients who have the minimed 640g bombs, with software version 2.6, informing of theproblem detected and the need to contact Medtronic if the energy error 25 appears in the pump, ”says the AEMPS statement.
Specifically, Minimed's 640G system is indicated for continuous insulin administration, fixed and variable indices, for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in people who need insulin.
“According to the information provided by the company, a software error has been identified that could prevent the internal battery from being loaded.If this error occurs, an alarm is activated and the patient can see on the pump screen the “energy error” accompanied by number 25, ”adds the AEMPS.
On the other hand, the institution has also issued a series of recommendations aimed at health professionals and patients.Among the advice for the former is contact with patients who are using Medtronic Insulin pumps to which reference is made to “deliver the company's warning note and inform them of the importance of contacting Medtronic inIf the energy error 25 ”appears in the device.
This last point is important, since recently there have been several users of these devices who have complained about the delay with which the firm serves the patients affected by some of the failures in their devices.Specifically, patients' protests due to this lack of rush when it comes to serving the user referred to the batteries of other models, because the company ‘dizzy’ to change the defective devices.
On the other hand, the AEMPS has also issued a series of recommendations for patients, to which they are suggested that they contact a healthcare professional to deliver the company's notice note.They are also told that “the recommendations and warnings of the company's notice note” continue and also contact the technical service of Iberian Medtronic if the energy error 25 appears in the device.According to the complaints recorded so far, this process can become a ordeal for those affected.
Complaints about catheters, absorption and bubbles in the reservoir
In addition to the failure registered in the AEMPS in reference to the battery, Medtronic Insulin bombs have also been subject to patient criticism due to other problems.Among them, are the discomforts generated by their catheters, which hurt, cause wounds and also badly absorb.
"I've been with DM1 for 22 years and with the Medtronic Pump since May, I use 6 mm catheters and they fail very much," said a user in the digital space specialized Diabetes.“Medtronic, his system is the worst.If it is the hegemonic for interest.But at all the best, ”said another of the participants in the conversation.
In addition, another of the company's insulin pumps failures refers to the bubbles that are formed in their reservoirs.In that sense, parents with diabetic children expressed their despair with the Medtronic Insulin bomb because the company was not able to avoid them.
"There is no time that they do not appear, and not one, but a lot," says a mother in the forum.Another adds: “It happens to me too.Sometimes they are super bubbles, other mini bubbles and the times I least have any. ”
Users explain that the company always puts the same excuse: "They told us that they are produced by body temperature, which are generated with heat."An argument that does not convince and adds to your doubts about whether it is really a trick not to increase the costs for the company.“Would it be so difficult for insulin to come in preloaded reservoirs?I think no, what happens is thatI suppose it would be a problem of economy due to the cost of the containers, ”says another user.
