Medtronic MiniMed is recalling 72,850 Paradigm insulin pumps due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized wireless control of 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 (insulin pump) where unauthorized control could lead to harm, but the source text does not report any actual injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic MiniMed is recalling 72,850 units of the MiniMed Paradigm Insulin Pump, model number MMT-723. The recall covers all software versions 2.4A or lower. These devices were distributed nationwide in the United States, including Puerto Rico.
The recall is being initiated due to potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities related to the pumps' wireless radio frequency (RF) communication capabilities. An unauthorized person could potentially connect wirelessly to a nearby insulin pump to change settings and control insulin delivery.
Consumers using these specific insulin pumps should contact Medtronic MiniMed for instructions on how to proceed. The source text does not specify a particular action for consumers other than the initiation of the recall action.
