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

This insulin pump delivers continuous subcutaneous insulin to people with diabetes. The MiniMed 770G and related pumps are used to automate insulin delivery.

Why This Is Dangerous

The device’s height relative to the infusion site can alter insulin flow due to hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure changes. Over-delivery risks hypoglycemia and death; under-delivery risks hyperglycemia, dehydration, DKA, and death.

Industry Context

This recall is not stated as part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

Consumers could face life-threatening diabetes complications if the device mis-delivers insulin. The recall involves a large, global population of users.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Identify your pump model and serial or UDI labels.
  2. Compare your model against the affected list (MMT-1880, 1881, 1882, 1890, 1891, 1892).
  3. Check packaging and device labels for model numbers and UDI codes.

Where to find product info

Look on the device label, user guide, and original packaging for model numbers and UDI. Manufacturer recall notices will detail next steps.

What timeline to expect

Refund or replacement processing will follow manufacturer instructions; typical recall timelines range from several weeks to a few months.

If the manufacturer is unresponsive

  • Document all communications with the manufacturer.

How to prevent similar issues

  • Avoid purchasing older Paradigm, 600 series, or BLE 700 series pumps for replacement until updated guidance is issued.
  • Verify recall status before replacing devices.
  • Ask clinicians about non-pump insulin management during a recall window.
