- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IICheck your Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump positioning
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.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IIStop using affected Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (including Paradigm, 600, and 700 series models) may deliver too much or too little insulin when the pump is positioned above or below the infusion site. This happens because gravity affects how insulin flows through the tubing. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar; too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IICheck your Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump position
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin depending on whether the pump is held above or below the infusion site. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar; too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar and other serious complications.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IIStop using Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm insulin pump
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin when the pump is held at different heights relative to the infusion site. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar; too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar and serious complications.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IIStop using affected Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin depending on whether the pump is positioned higher or lower than your infusion site.

- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IIStop using affected Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps
Medtronic MiniMed infusion pumps (Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin when the pump is raised or lowered relative to the infusion site. This happens because gravity affects pressure in the pump system. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar; too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar and serious complications.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IICheck your Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump position
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (including 740G, Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin when the pump is positioned higher or lower than the infusion site on your body. This happens because gravity affects the pressure inside the pump tubing. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar; too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IIStop using Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (including MiniMed 720G, Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin depending on whether the pump is positioned above or below the infusion site. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar, while too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IICheck your Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump position
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (including Paradigm, 600 series, and 700 series models) may deliver too much or too little insulin depending on whether the pump is held above or below the infusion site. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar; too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar and related complications.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IICheck your MiniMed insulin pump positioning
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps (Paradigm, 600, and 700 series) can deliver too much or too little insulin when the pump height changes relative to the infusion site. When elevated, excess insulin may cause dangerously low blood sugar. When lowered, insufficient insulin may cause dangerously high blood sugar. This affects about 116,000 pumps worldwide.
- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceClass IICheck your MiniMed 770G pump position during use
Medtronic MiniMed insulin pumps may deliver too much or too little insulin depending on whether the pump is held above or below the infusion site on your body. Too much insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar; too little can cause dangerously high blood sugar. This happens because gravity affects how insulin flows through the pump.
