FDA Recall Notice

Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — official FDA notice for recall FDA-Z-1256-2025.

All Medtronic MiniMed pumps (Paradigm series, Minimed 530G, 6XX series, and 7XX series) were found to have the potential for abnormal insulin delivery due to changes in air pressure, which can be found during airplane take-off or landing. An unexpected additional dose of insulin, which can occur during take-off, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An unexpected under-delivery of insulin, which can occur during landing, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.
