Medtronic recalls specific MiniMed 620G insulin pumps with loose reservoirs that may cause insulin delivery issues. Affected models include MMT-1510, MMT-1710, and MMT-1750. Not distributed in the US.
There have been reported incidents of a loose reservoir that can no longer be locked into the pump. The reservoir can become loose due to a broken or missing retainer ring that prevents a proper lock. If the reservoir is not properly locked into the pump, it could lead to over or under delivery of insulin, which could then result in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

The reservoir may become loose due to a broken or missing retainer ring. This can cause the pump to deliver too much or too little insulin, leading to dangerously low or high blood sugar levels.
People with diabetes who use the recalled MiniMed 620G insulin pumps are affected. Those with the specific model numbers (MMT-1510, MMT-1710, MMT-1750) and devices without black retainer rings are most at risk.
