My pump has 2 small cracks!

It seems to be working fine but the replacement pump is a refurbished pump?Its a minimed 522 and im still under warranty.Shouldn't I be getting a NEW Pump?

[Subby]

Give them a call and ask for another replacement! Ask them about the new issue too. My understanding is that a refurbished pump "as new" is acceptable under the warranty. But the people to take it up with is medtronic.

[Bobby T]

They said they would send me out a refurb is that ok?

[Subby]

You'll need to make your own mind up if it's ok or not, and take it up with them.

I thought you went back to MDIs. Pumps have a full warranty. Take advantage of it. Ever think that this is what is screwing with your readings?

My new 522 had a software issue at 6 months old. They replaced it with a refurbished one. That was 2 1/2 years ago and it is working fine. The refirbed ones are as good as new. I felt a little jilted when I got a refirbed one but they assured me it was good as new.

I thought you went back to MDI...?

[JediSkipdogg]

You can't get a new one while under warranty. According to their warranty contract all they will send you is a refurbished pump so you really have no say in that.

I have always recieved refurbished pumps. They look like new and work great.

I thought you decided to go back on MDI????
