Plain-English summary
Medtronic MiniMed is recalling approximately 83,398 MiniMed 780G Insulin Pumps (O.U.S. Version) distributed throughout the United States. The recall was issued due to a potentially serious defect that may affect pump functionality.
The issue stems from battery cap deterioration, which may result in an incomplete battery circuit. This is similar to the circuit disruption that occurs when the battery cap is not fully attached. If this condition occurs, the pump may lose power and be unable to deliver insulin.
The affected devices can be identified by their serial number. All consumers currently using a MiniMed 780G pump should contact Medtronic MiniMed to determine whether their device is affected by this recall.
Consumers should not attempt to fix the device themselves. Instructions for addressing the recall should be obtained directly from the manufacturer.
