MiniMed Remote Controller MMT-503 used with MiniMed 508 Insulin Pump or Paradigm Pumps Product code: MMT-503 ARTG: 128416 (Medtronic Australasia Pty Ltd - Remote control - Cancelled)
Why it was recalled
An unauthorised individual in close proximity to an insulin pump user could potentially copy the wireless RF signals from the user’s remote controller and play those back later to deliver an additional bolus of insulin to the pump user or to suspend insulin delivery.
Hazard
If additional insulin is delivered beyond the user’s insulin requirements, this could lead to hypoglycaemia, or hyperglycaemia if insulin delivery is suspended.
