Medtronic MiniMed 620G Insulin Pump Recall for Loose Reservoirs
Medtronic is recalling MiniMed 620G insulin pumps not distributed in the US due to a loose reservoir that may cause incorrect insulin delivery.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device where a mechanical failure can lead to serious health consequences (hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia), but the source text does not report specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic Inc. is recalling the MiniMed 620G Insulin Infusion Pump (models MMT-1510, MMT-1710, and MMT-1750) due to reported incidents of a loose reservoir. The recall applies to devices with a broken or missing retainer ring that prevents the reservoir from locking properly into the pump. The source text explicitly states that these specific units were not distributed within the United States, though the distribution pattern lists various international locations.
If the reservoir is not properly locked, it can lead to over or under delivery of insulin. This malfunction may result in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) for the user. The recall covers all serial numbers excluding devices with black retainer rings.
Consumers should check their device for a broken or missing retainer ring. If the reservoir cannot be locked securely, the device should not be used. Users should contact Medtronic for further instructions on replacement or repair.
