Medtronic recalls all MiniMed Paradigm 511 insulin pumps due to potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized remote control of insulin delivery.
The action is being initiated due to potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities related to a series of insulin pumps that are designed to communicate using a wireless radio frequency (RF). An unauthorized person could potentially connect wirelessly to a nearby insulin pump to change settings and control insulin delivery.
Medtronic is recalling all MiniMed Paradigm Model 511 insulin pumps because they have potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This could allow someone to remotely change insulin settings and control delivery without the user's knowledge.
The pumps use wireless radio frequency to communicate, which could be exploited by unauthorized users. If someone connects to the pump wirelessly, they might change insulin settings or control delivery without the user knowing. This could lead to dangerous insulin levels.
People using Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm Model 511 insulin pumps are affected. Those with diabetes who rely on these pumps for insulin delivery are at risk if the pump is compromised.
