Medtronic MiniMed 720G Insulin Pump Recall 2026 Affects 37,458 Units Worldwide

Q: What is the hazard and how does it occur?

The pumps can deliver too much insulin when elevated or too little when lowered relative to the infusion site due to changes in gravitational forces affecting pressures.

Medtronic MiniMed recalled 37,458 insulin pumps sold worldwide through healthcare providers, including the MiniMed 720G, after finding that a pump raised above or lowered relative to the infusion site can deliver insulin too much or too little.

Geographic Scope: 1 states

Hazard Information

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.
