- 2026-04-08FDA-DeviceMedtronicClass IINationwideCheck 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.
