Medtronic recalls MiniMed 780G insulin pumps with specific software versions due to a software anomaly that can cause insulin delivery to stop when paired with Instinct sensors, risking hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis.
A software anomaly can occur when the pump is paired with the Instinct sensor. Under certain circumstances, the pump unexpectedly stops delivering insulin and displays two error messages back-to-back: Pump Error 53 followed immediately by Pump Error 23. Insulin delivery will stop which may lead to delayed therapy and an increased risk of hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
