MiniMed Insulin Pumps Recalled for Battery Failure After Physical Impact
MiniMed insulin pumps are recalled because physical impact can damage internal components, reduce battery life, and cause unexpected device shutdown that interrupts insulin delivery.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification establishes minimum severity of 4. The defect poses significant risk of harm: unexpected device shutdown interrupts insulin delivery, potentially resulting in hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. However, no deaths or documented injuries are reported in the source, preventing a Critical rating.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. is recalling 234,360 units of MiniMed insulin pumps, including models 620G, 630G, 640G, 720G, and 740G. These pumps have been distributed throughout the United States and internationally.
These pumps can be damaged if dropped, bumped, or experience physical impact. When physical damage occurs, it can harm internal electrical components, reducing the battery's ability to hold a charge. The damaged battery causes the pump's low battery alarm to activate much later than designed—potentially only about 2.5 hours before the device shuts down completely, or even sooner based on patient reports. Replacing the battery will not resolve this issue because the internal damage persists.
When a damaged pump's battery runs out, the device stops delivering insulin without warning. Interrupted insulin delivery can result in insufficient insulin reaching the patient, potentially causing hyperglycemia (dangerously high blood sugar) or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Patients with any of the affected pump models should inspect their device for signs of physical damage. Anyone who has dropped or impacted their pump should contact Medtronic immediately.
