I’m really worried about the recall, and I guess I shouldn’t be but…
When the battery cover on my IR1000 chipped, I was so relieved that they replaced the pump, I didn’t squawk when the replacement pump wasn’t in as good condition as my old IR1000.
The cover was a bit worn, along with the buttons, and it creeped me out a bit when I saw that, because I knew that someone else before me had worn it and didn’t take as good care as I do.
I think I’m going to tell them that when they call to schedule the delivery. Here’s what is going to happen. They will fix the pumps they have in stock and ship them out. Then when the patients return their old pumps, they will refurbish them, and update the software, and ship out those pumps. So I’m sure I’ll get a used pump.
So far, mine looks like it did when it came out of the box, and I expect the replacement to look the same.
