The FDA also criticized the manufacturing processes of Medtronic, noting that the company had no proper quality control. The report mentions that Medtronic medical professional on the site, hired to determine if there were health problems with the unit, had only a high school diploma. The FDA was first discovered these deficiencies during an inspection in late 2008. The violations included failing to maintain procedures to control process to ensure that products conform to specifications, failure to provide accurate records for each lot, failing to assess and investigate consumer complaints and by failing to report problems where failures could cause serious injury or death. The FDA letter also criticized the company to take two years to recall the insulin pump after the company discovered some models lacked a key propellant. Medtronic initially identified this problem in May 2006 but did not recall the FDA or know the problem until May 2008.
