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.

What You Should Do

Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter

About This Product

The MiniMed insulin pump is an automated device that delivers insulin through a catheter to manage diabetes. It is used by both adults and children under medical supervision.

Why This Is Dangerous

The pump’s delivery can be disrupted by gravity when the device is higher or lower than the infusion site, altering insulin delivery in real time and potentially causing dangerous glucose fluctuations.

Industry Context

This recall is not described as part of a broader pattern in the provided data.

Real-World Impact

Consumers must halt use immediately to avoid life-threatening hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. The recall has global reach and requires action by patients and healthcare providers.
