Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps recalled for insulin delivery risk

Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin when the pump is held higher or lower than the infusion site on your body. This happens because gravity affects the pressure inside the pump tubing. Incorrect insulin doses can cause serious blood sugar problems.

From the FDA notice · Read the official notice ↗ · All Medtronic recalls

What to do

  1. Keep your insulin pump at approximately the same height as your infusion site (where the needle goes in)
  2. Contact Medtronic MiniMed for specific guidance on your pump model
  3. Monitor your blood sugar closely and watch for signs of very high or very low blood sugar
  4. Talk to your doctor about whether your current pump is safe to use

In the FDA's words

Description
Paradigm REAL-Time Veo Insulin Pump (MMT-554, MMT-754) All Medtronic MiniMed infusion pumps (Paradigm series, 600 series, and BLE 700 series) were found to be affected by unintended over- and under-delivery of insulin when the pump is elevated or lowered relative to the infusion site, respectively, because of changes in gravitational force impacting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures. Insulin over-delivery, which can occur when the pump is elevated relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An under-delivery of insulin, which can occur at lowered pump height conditions relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.

Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps recalled for dosing error risk

Medtronic is recalling 14 MiniMed insulin pump models, including the Paradigm, 600 series, and BLE 700 series. Changes in pump height relative to the infusion site can cause the pump to deliver too much or too little insulin. No injuries have been reported.

The agency lists each product separately. Check every one you might have.
