- 2025-12-24FDA-DeviceClass IIUpdate your Medtronic MiniMed InPen App immediately
When app is uninstalled and reinstalled, insulin pen software issue causes Choose Notification Style Screen to not show during setup so users can't choose to allow notifications to override phone settings when on mute/Do Not Disturb, and previously set up override permission is deleted, so audible and vibratory notifications not received, which may lead to delayed insulin therapy, hyperglycemia.
- 2025-12-10FDA-DeviceClass IIAurora EV-ICD and Clinical EV-ICD, single chamber, extravascular implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), Product Number DVEA3E4
There is a potential for delayed time to high-voltage (HV) therapy should a rare sequence of events occur.
- 2025-12-03FDA-DeviceClass IICareLink Clinic, REF: MMT-7350
Software error causing incorrect data to be displayed on the 24-hour Sensor Glucose Overview Graph, any potential therapy decisions were made based on the incorrect data displayed on the 24-hour sensor glucose overview graph may lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
- 2025-12-03FDA-DeviceClass IICatalyft PL & PL40 Expandable Interbody System labeled as follows with corresponding model numbers: 1. SPACER 6068073 CATALYFT PL SHORT 7MM. Model Number: 6068073. 2. SPACER 6068076 CATALYFT PL LONG 7MM, Model Number: 6068076. 3. SPACER 6068093 CATALYFT PL SHORT 9MM, Model Number: 6068093. 4. SPACER 6068096 CATALYFT PL LONG 9MM, Model Number: 6068096. 5. SPACER 6068113 CATALYFT PL SHORT 11MM, Model Number: 6068113. 6. SPACER 6068116 CATALYFT PL LONG 11MM, Model Number: 6068
Expandable interbody system cage may loose height or collapse (loss of lordosis), which could result in migration, subsidence and/or neurological injury. Therefore, surgical technique and instructions for use will be updated to mitigate risk of loss of lordosis to occur.
- 2025-11-26FDA-DeviceClass IIMedtronic HR-ACT (High Range Activated Clotting Time Cartridges), REF 402-03
Medtronic personnel observed trace amounts of dry blood on the external carton label and Instructions for Use (IFU) in five boxes of one lot of ACT Cartridges.
- 2025-11-26FDA-DeviceClass IIMC3 VitalFlow Console, REF 58100; Blood pump of ecmo
As of August 6, 2025, Medtronic has received eleven reports of VitalFlow Consoles displaying an E70 error code during normal operation. When this occurs, the touch screen may become temporarily unresponsive and go blank for up to two minutes before recovering to full functionality. Importantly, the console continues to maintain set pump speed and function throughout.
- 2025-11-19FDA-DeviceClass IIAffinity NT Oxygenator, Oxygenator with Balance Biosurface and Uncoated Cardiotomy/Venous Reservoir, Product Number 541B
Medtronic identified an Affinity NT Oxygenator unit with decreased CO2 gas transfer rates that did not meet performance requirements.
- 2024-10-09FDA-DeviceClass IMiniMed Insulin Pump Device. MiniMed 670G, REF: MMT-1580, MMT-1581, MMT-1582, MMT-1780, MMT-1781, MMT-1782, MMT-1740, MMT-1741, MMT-1742, MMT-1760, MMT-1761, MMT-1762; MiniMed 770G, REF: MMT-1880, MMT-1881, MMT-1882, MMT-1890, MMT-1891, MMT-1892; MiniMed 780G, REF: MMT-1884, MMT-1885, MMT-1886, MMT-1894, MMT-1895, MMT-1896
Insulin pumps that have been dropped, bumped, or experienced physical impact may have damage to internal electrical components, which may cause reduced pump battery life. Since the defect reduces the battery life overall, it shortens the time between low battery alarms and increases the frequency with which the user must insert a new battery. Further, the defect may also deliver the low battery alarm when there is significantly less time before the battery completely runs out, from the expected up to 10-hour buffer the low alert is supposed to signal, leading to device powering down and stopping insulin delivery unexpectedly. Per the firm, a subset of pumps with the defect showed the low alert alarm was delivered ~2.5 hours before the device shut off, however, patient reports indicate the time could be even shorter. Replacing the battery will not resolve this issue and the short battery life and the truncated low battery alert lead time will continue to occur. Early battery depletion could result in power loss and insulin delivery could be interrupted, resulting in under delivery of insulin potentially leading to hyperglycemia and/or DKA.
