Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
20 August 2026
Reason
Some MiniMed Flex insulin pumps were released with missing (i.e., devices with no result or abort test results are presumed to have failed) or failed verification test results in one or more of 9 functional tests. The unverified/failed pumps released to users potentially have one or more of the following issues: inoperable pump at setup, lack of protection for moisture exposure, slow battery charging, disconnection issues with other system components (i.e., continuous glucose monitoring sensor or MiniMed mobile app), reduced ability to detect occlusion events, compromised audio for pump alarms/alerts, and/or inaccurate insulin delivery.
Distribution

Recall started
13 July 2026
Reason
Loaner insulin pumps may have been cleaned with chemically incompatible products that could damage the pump case or keypad, allow moisture ingress, and result in insulin over- or under-delivery, potentially causing hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
16 June 2026
Reason
For MiniMed Go app version 1.0.0 and 1.1.0, when the Set day and night is turned OFF and missed dose or Correct high glucose alerts are enabled, the associated alerts will not be triggered during the nighttime. This could result in missed rapid-acting insulin doses without the user s knowledge, and may lead to delayed therapy and an increased risk of hyperglycemia.

Z-2778-2026

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
27 May 2026
Reason
A software anomaly can occur when the pump is paired with the Instinct sensor. Under certain circumstances, the pump unexpectedly stops delivering insulin and displays two error messages back-to-back: Pump Error 53 followed immediately by Pump Error 23. Insulin delivery will stop which may lead to delayed therapy and an increased risk of hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

Z-2698-2026

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
13 February 2026
Reason
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.

Z-0594-2026

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
16 June 2025
Reason
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.

Reason
Insulin pens may have been incorrectly assembled therefore users could experience the following: either the insulin cartridge will not fit into the cartridge holder; or the cartridge holder may be difficult to remove from the insulin pen. If the issue is present, and if the user does not have backup insulin they may experience temporary hyperglycemia.

31 January 2025
Reason
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.

Ongoing Class I Medical devices

Recall started
31 July 2024
Reason
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.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
15 November 2023
Reason
Some sensors may have a glucose oxidase (GOX) layer thickness outside of specification (5.5 to 9.2 ¿m). A non-conforming GOX layer thickness could impact sensor function (sensor glucose value) or loss of sensor function due to the sensor layer being too thin. The potential impact resulting from this issue ranges from user inconvenience to over/under delivery of insulin, possibly resulting in hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, if the sensor glucose values are affected. The issue was identified by the manufacturing team during the execution of Filmetrics Measurement for a Guardian Sensor lot.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
20 September 2022
Reason
Medtronic identified a cybersecurity vulnerability in the MiniMed 600 series Insulin Pump Systems associated with the communication protocol that could allow unauthorized access to the pump system. This unauthorized access could be used to deliver too much or too little insulin through delivery of an unintended insulin bolus or because insulin delivery is slowed or stopped, which could lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. The Remote Bolus feature on insulin pumps should be turned off to prevent the unauthorized access.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
27 January 2022
Reason
New or replacement insulin pumps are not pre-programmed with basal rates or other verified settings (bolus wizard settings, sensor settings, etc.), which must be set up and saved on pumps prior to use. Patients who do not realize this will receive no basal insulin, which can lead to insulin under-delivery. Insulin under-delivery can cause severe hyperglycemia, which may lead to diabetic ketoacidosis. Current device labeling does not clearly identify that these insulin pumps are capable of functioning with the default basal setting of 0.0 units/hr for all 24 hours and that no error message will appear if the default basal setting remains active. Furthermore, the labeling for the affected devices does not highlight that saving the basal settings requires multiple steps and failure to complete all steps will not save the new basal settings, nor that the steps required to set and save a basal profile and other parameters which are used as part of the bolus calculator function are different.
