What is the Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pump?
Medtronic, a medical device manufacturer, developed the MiniMed insulin pump to combat diabetes.
An insulin pump is a small electronic device that can be easily carried on a belt or inside a pocket.
The device is attached to your body via a thin tube called an infusion set, through which insulin is delivered.
An insulin pump replaces the need for frequent injections by delivering rapid-acting insulin continuously 24 a day.
The pump and tubing can easily disconnect and reconnect to your body whenever you want to.
How the Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pump Works
The Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pump 670G model was designed to automatically track and adjust a patient’s blood sugar levels by measuring blood glucose every few minutes and automating the dosing of insulin.
The automated insulin delivery system first won FDA approval in September 2016 – touted at the time as an important step toward the goal of creating a so-called “artificial pancreas” insulin pump system.
The MiniMed Insulin Pump 630G model was approved by the FDA in 2017.
The device has a compartment that holds a reservoir that is filled with insulin.
Insulin travels through the pump’s reservoir along a thin tube and is infused into the body through an infusion set that is inserted into the skin.
Type 1 Diabetes Patients
People who have Type 1 diabetes may use the MiniMed insulin pump to deliver insulin for the management of their diabetes.
The Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump 630G may be used by persons sixteen years of age and older.
Whereas, the 670G model may be used by persons seven years of age and older.
Type 2 Diabetes Patients
The MiniMed 630G insulin pump helps mimic the way a healthy pancreas delivers basal insulin to the body for those with Type 2 Diabetes.
Defective Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pumps
There have been reports of defective MiniMed Insulin Pump devices.
A retainer ring meant to lock an insulin cartridge into place could be broken or missing on the recalled devices.
The defect could prevent people from properly locking the cartridge into place, causing people to receive the wrong amount of insulin.
There have been more than 26,000 error reports on the product which included more than 2,000 injuries and at least one death received by the FDA.
TorHoerman Law Firm offers expert legal counsel for defective product lawsuits, including individuals who may qualify for the Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pump lawsuit.
Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pump Recall
Medtronic has recalled its 600 series of MiniMed insulin pumps due to a missing or broken retainer ring, which helps to lock the insulin cartridge in place in the pump’s reservoir compartment, according to the FDA.
The recall affects all 630G (MMT-1715) models as well as all 670G (MMT-1780) models.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified the action as a Class I recall, the most serious kind of recall for medical devices, meaning that the use of the device could result in serious injuries or death.
MiniMed Pumps have a long history of defects and recalls over the last decade.
Prior Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump recalls date back as far as 2009.
What should I do if my insulin pump has been recalled?
Medtronic has notified affected customers and advised them to:
Examine the retainer ring of the pump.
Stop use of the pump and contact Medtronic for a replacement pump if the reservoir does not lock into the pump or if the retainer ring is loose, damaged, or missing. If you stop using the pump, you should follow your doctor’s recommendations and perform manual insulin injections.
Continue using the pump only if the reservoir locks in place correctly.
Check the pump retainer ring and verify that the reservoir is locked correctly at every set change.
If you or a loved one have suffered any injuries or damage due to a defective Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump, you may be entitled to financial compensationthrough a Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump lawsuit.
To strengthen a potential claim, you should be able to prove that you sought medical attention and attempted to mitigate any potential injuries.
Contact an experienced Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump lawyer today to discuss your legal options.
Customers who have further questions about the recall should call the 24-hour Medtronic Technical Support at (877) 585-0166.

Dizziness
4. Death
The Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump recall has been linked to more than two thousand injuries and at least one known fatality.
