Medtronic recalls MiniMed 630G insulin pumps (MMT-1714, MMT-1715, etc.) 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 MiniMed 630G insulin pumps that may deliver too much or too little insulin if moved up or down relative to the body. This could cause life-threatening low blood sugar or high blood sugar conditions.
The pump can deliver too much insulin if elevated above the infusion site, causing severe hypoglycemia, seizures, or death. It can also deliver too little insulin if lowered below the infusion site, leading to hyperglycemia, dehydration, or diabetic ketoacidosis.
People using Medtronic MiniMed 630G insulin pumps with specific model numbers are affected. Those with diabetes who rely on these pumps for insulin delivery are most at risk.
Check for model numbers MMT-1714, MMT-1715, MMT-1754, or MMT-1755 on the pump's label. The pumps were sold with specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
Look for model numbers MMT-1714, MMT-1715, MMT-1754, or MMT-1755 on the pump's label.
Reach out to Medtronic for guidance on next steps if you have the recalled model.
