Official wording

Reason: Medtronic is recalling the Medtronic Paradigm Insulin Pump because the pump's drive support cap may become detached from the pump case and protrude from the lower right side of the pump. When the pump is expose to water it may result in damage to the pump's internal electronics. This moisture damage can prevent the pump's buttons from working properly or can cause the pump to alarm.
