Medtronic MiniMed 670G insulin pumps (model numbers MMT-1760 to MMT-1782) may deliver incorrect insulin during airplane takeoff or landing, risking severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Affected users should contact Medtronic for guidance.
All Medtronic MiniMed pumps (Paradigm series, Minimed 530G, 6XX series, and 7XX series) were found to have the potential for abnormal insulin delivery due to changes in air pressure, which can be found during airplane take-off or landing. An unexpected additional dose of insulin, which can occur during take-off, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An unexpected under-delivery of insulin, which can occur during landing, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.
Medtronic MiniMed 670G insulin pumps (model numbers MMT-1760 to MMT-1782) may deliver too much or too little insulin during airplane takeoff or landing, which can cause life-threatening low or high blood sugar. This recall affects people who use these pumps for diabetes management.
Air pressure changes during airplane takeoff or landing can cause the pump to deliver an unexpected extra dose of insulin, leading to severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) that may cause seizures, coma, or death. Alternatively, the pump may deliver less insulin during landing, causing severe hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) that can lead to dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.
People using Medtronic MiniMed 670G insulin pumps for diabetes management are affected. Those traveling by air are at higher risk due to potential insulin delivery issues during takeoff and landing.
Check if your pump has model numbers MMT-1760, MMT-1761, MMT-1762, MMT-1780, MMT-1781, or MMT-1782. The recall covers all units sold with these model numbers, regardless of lot or unique device identifier.
Identify your pump's model number to confirm if it is affected (MMT-1760 to MMT-1782).
