Plain-English summary

The MiniMed 780G Insulin Pump, catalog numbers MMT-1884 and MMT-1886, with software version 6.60, is being recalled by Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. The record states the pump is indicated for use by patients aged 7-80 years with Type 1 diabetes whose total daily dose of insulin is 8 units per day or more, and that the system is intended for continuous delivery of basal insulin at selectable rates and administration of insulin boluses.

The reason given in the enforcement record is a software timing and processor communication issue in MiniMed 780G software version 6.60 that may trigger Pump Error 43 and/or Pump Error 41, resulting in suspension of insulin delivery.

The record lists 577 units, with UDI-DI codes recorded in the enforcement record. Distribution was worldwide, including national distribution in the United States across the states listed in the record. The FDA has classified the action as Class II.

A suspension of insulin delivery leaves a person with type 1 diabetes without their basal insulin until it is restored. The enforcement record reports no injuries. Users should follow Medtronic's instructions and know how to respond to a pump error.
