Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

The MiniMed 720G Insulin Pump (O.U.S. Version), manufactured by Medtronic MiniMed, is subject to a recall affecting approximately 575 units distributed across the United States.

The recall is due to battery cap deterioration. When the battery cap deteriorates, it may result in an incomplete battery circuit—similar to a pump with the battery cap not attached—causing loss of power and loss of functionality of the insulin infusion pump.
