Reason for Recall

All Medtronic MiniMed pumps (Paradigm series, Minimed 530G, 6XX series, and 7XX series) were found to have the potential for abnormal insulin delivery due to changes in air pressure, which can be found during airplane take-off or landing. An unexpected additional dose of insulin, which can occur during take-off, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An unexpected under-delivery of insulin, which can occur during landing, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death. During a delivery accuracy dry run testing of the 780G NGP infusion pump under dynamic pressure conditions, the firm observed that when air pressure decreased during take-off simulation, on average 0.569U more insulin was delivered in 15 minutes than the expected delivery volume at ambient pressure at 1 U/hr delivery rate; when air pressure increased during landing simulation, on average 0.537 U less insulin was delivered in 25 minutes than the expected delivery volume at ambient pressure at 1 U/hr delivery rate. The firm also observed that the mechanisms causing the variations in delivery volumes are independent of the delivery rate.

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.
