FDA Recalls Medtronic MiniMed 600 Series

Medtronic MiniMed models 630G and 670G are both recalled due to a missing or broken retainer ring. The ring helps lock the insulin cartridge into the pump’s reservoir compartment. If the cartridge is not locked firmly in place, under, or over, delivery of insulin may occur, potentially resulting in hypoglycemia (low glucose, or blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high glucose, or blood sugar). The FDA has received almost 30,000 complaints regarding defective MiniMed 600 series as well as over 2,000 injuries and at least one death.

October 2024 Update – New MiniMed Recall

Medtronic has issued a warning to customers regarding battery issues with its MiniMed 600 and 700 series insulin pumps, which could lead to the devices stopping insulin delivery sooner than expected. The company noted the “low battery pump” alert, which should indicate up to 10 hours of remaining battery life, may display when far less time is left. Medtronic has received 170 reports of hyperglycemia and 11 reports of diabetic ketoacidosis in the U.S. related to this issue between January 2023 and September 2024.

Medtronic initially identified the problem in July, linking it to pumps that were dropped or bumped, which may damage internal components and shorten battery life. The company initiated a recall of over 785,000 devices, classified by the FDA as a Class I recall, the most serious type.

The affected models include the MiniMed 630G, 670G, 770G, and 780G.
