Reason for Recall

Insulin pumps that have been dropped, bumped, or experienced physical impact may have damage to internal electrical components, which may cause reduced pump battery life. Since the defect reduces the battery life overall, it shortens the time between low battery alarms and increases the frequency with which the user must insert a new battery. Further, the defect may also deliver the low battery alarm when there is significantly less time before the battery completely runs out, from the expected up to 10-hour buffer the low alert is supposed to signal, leading to device powering down and stopping insulin delivery unexpectedly. Per the firm, a subset of pumps with the defect showed the low alert alarm was delivered ~2.5 hours before the device shut off, however, patient reports indicate the time could be even shorter. Replacing the battery will not resolve this issue and the short battery life and the truncated low battery alert lead time will continue to occur. Early battery depletion could result in power loss and insulin delivery could be interrupted, resulting in under delivery of insulin potentially leading to hyperglycemia and/or DKA.

Other Recalls by Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.

• Class II: Risk 11/13/2025
  When app is uninstalled and reinstalled, insulin pen software issue causes Choose Notification Style Screen to not show during setup so users can't choose to allow notifications to override phone settings when on mute/Do Not Disturb, and previously set up override permission is deleted, so audible and vibratory notifications not received, which may lead to delayed insulin therapy, hyperglycemia.
• Class II: Risk 11/02/2025
  A software timing and processor communication issue in MiniMed" 780G software version 6.60 may trigger Pump Error 43 and/or Pump Error 41, resulting in suspension of insulin delivery.
• Class II: Risk 10/21/2025
  Software error causing incorrect data to be displayed on the 24-hour Sensor Glucose Overview Graph, any potential therapy decisions were made based on the incorrect data displayed on the 24-hour sensor glucose overview graph may lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
• Class II: Risk 06/16/2025
  Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. is recalling InPen App for iOS and Android users due to software design errors that could lead to a missed short-acting insulin dose reminder and a recommendation to correct a high glucose value. It does not impact insulin delivery, long-acting insulin dose reminders, or CGM alerts, and users can still use the pen itself to calculate a dose, deliver insulin, record the dose date/time, and view CGM data. This issue was identified during internal testing before release in the US but after release to OUS customers, no complaints or MDRs related to this recall have been reported. Use of the affected device may result hyperglycemia by failing to alert the user and delay treatment of diabetes.
• Class II: Risk 05/07/2025
  The device cap label may not adhere to the sensor, compromising the sterility of the sensor, and increasing the risk of infection.
