Medtronic is notifying users of MiniMed 600 and 700 series insulin pumps of an increased risk for reduced battery life and less time until shutdown after a battery alert occurs. Pumps that have been dropped, bumped, or experienced another physical impact may have damaged electrical components causing this issue—even a single drop can impact battery life.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. This recall does not involve removing all products. Users should contact Medtronic if they experience significant reduced battery life to determine if a new pump is needed.
