Medtronic recalls insulin pumps with model MMT-723K and software versions 2.4A or lower due to potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities allowing 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 insulin pumps with model number MMT-723K and software versions 2.4A or lower because they have cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could let hackers remotely change insulin settings. This could lead to dangerous insulin delivery changes if an unauthorized person connects wirelessly to the pump.
The insulin pumps can be hacked via wireless signals to change settings and control insulin delivery. This means an unauthorized person could remotely adjust insulin doses, potentially causing dangerous blood sugar levels or health complications.
People with Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm insulin pumps using model MMT-723K and software versions 2.4A or lower are affected. Those with diabetes who rely on these pumps for insulin delivery are at the highest risk.
Check if your pump has the model number MMT-723K and software version 2.4A or lower. The recall covers all units sold with these specifications.
