Customers are being notified of the importance of checking built-in alerts and alarms for battery status and to contact Medtronic for pump replacement if affected by this issue

GALWAY, Ireland, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, voluntarily issued a field action starting on July 31, 2024, notifying global customers of its MiniMed™ 600 series or 700 series insulin pumps to follow their pump's built-in alerts and alarms for battery status and to contact Medtronic if they observe changes in the battery life of their pump. Medtronic began investigating this issue upon receiving customer reports of shortened battery life and a comprehensive analysis found that pumps that have been dropped, bumped, or experienced physical impact even once may result in shortened battery life due to damage to internal electrical components. This electrical issue also causes battery alerts to occur when less battery life remains than the User Guide states. This may result in the pump stopping insulin delivery significantly sooner than usually expected and could lead to health risks like hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), potentially requiring medical intervention. Most recently, Medtronic has received 170 reports of hyperglycemia >400mg/dL and 11 reports of diabetic ketoacidosis from January 2023 to September 2024 in the US potentially related to this issue. The FDA has classified this action as a class I recall.
