Reason for Recall

All Medtronic MiniMed infusion pumps (Paradigm series, 600 series, and BLE 700 series) were found to be affected by unintended over- and under-delivery of insulin when the pump is elevated or lowered relative to the infusion site, respectively, because of changes in gravitational force impacting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures. Insulin over-delivery, which can occur when the pump is elevated relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An under-delivery of insulin, which can occur at lowered pump height conditions relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.

Correction notices were sent informing customers of the following: User Guides will be updated to include: "It is important to keep the location of your pump stable relative to your infusion site. Do not wear or place your pump more than 14 in (35.5 cm) above your infusion site. Doing so can cause an over-delivery of insulin, which may result in hypoglycemia."
