Medtronic recalls Paradigm REAL-Time Veo Insulin Pumps (MMT-554, MMT-754) due to potential insulin over- or under-delivery when pump height changes, risking severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
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.
Medtronic is recalling Paradigm REAL-Time Veo Insulin Pumps (MMT-554 and MMT-754 models) because they can deliver too much or too little insulin if the pump is moved up or down relative to the body. This could cause life-threatening low blood sugar or high blood sugar levels.
When the insulin pump is elevated above the infusion site, it can deliver too much insulin, causing severe hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar) that may lead to seizures, coma, or death. When the pump is lowered below the infusion site, it can deliver too little insulin, causing severe hyperglycemia (dangerously high blood sugar) that may lead to dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.
People with diabetes who use Medtronic Paradigm REAL-Time Veo Insulin Pumps (MMT-554 or MMT-754 models) are affected. Those who have recently received a pump with these models are at the highest risk.
Check for the model numbers MMT-554 or MMT-754 on the pump's label or packaging. The product was sold with specific part numbers listed in the recall notice.
If you have a Paradigm REAL-Time Veo Insulin Pump (MMT-554 or MMT-754 model), stop using it right away to prevent potential life-threatening blood sugar issues.
