Product
All MiniMed 640G, 670G, 700, 770G, and 780G Insulin Pumps MiniMed pumps are intended for continuous insulin delivery and delivery of user activated insulin boluses, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. ARTGs 95763, 308140, 332201 and 376091
Why it was recalled
The gold battery cap contact may fall off when the user is charging the battery. If the contact falls off, the 'Insert battery' alarm will not clear automatically when the user inserts a new AA battery as the circuit is not complete. This will result in the alarm escalating to a siren and then the pump will shut down and will not power up.
Hazard
If insulin delivery is suspended, this may lead to major hyperglycemia which can result in serious health complications. In severe cases of hyperglycemia, the user may experience diabetic ketoacidosis and may require hospitalisation or intervention from a medical professional.
