Medtronic
(NYSE: MDT)
issued an urgent field safety notice in Germany to warn of a potential issue with its MiniMed 780G system.
MiniMed 780G, Medtronic’s next-generation automated insulin delivery system, has been available in Europe since earning CE mark in mid-2020. In March 2021, the company first communicated that its pumps with software version 6.5 could present pump errors. These occur after the delivery of a large bolus at quick bolus speed under certain conditions.
With its notice, Medtronic informed customers in Germany that they can exchange their current pumps for an updated version for free. Those with MiniMed 780G pumps with software version 6.5 can change to a pump with software version 6.7. This eliminates the potential occurrence of these errors so users can use the pump for boluses over 17.1 units at quick bolus speed.
This issue only impacts customers using pumps with software version 6.5. There is no required action for users of MiniMed 780Gs with software version 6.7.
