Medtronic Recalls Insulin Pump Infusion Sets
Medtronic, Inc. has recalled Paradigm "Quick-set" infusion sets that patients use with Medtronic's Minimed insulin pumps. Both Medtronic and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration have notified health care professionals that the recalled Quick-set infusion sets at issue may not allow the insulin pumps to vent air properly, which could then lead to the device either delivering too much or too little insulin and may lead to serious injury or death.
The affected infusion sets contain reference numbers MMT-396, MMT-397, MMT-398, and MMT-399 with lot numbers starting with the number "8". Medtronic has advised that patients should immediately discontinue using any "Lot 8" Quick-set infusion sets. Medtronic has agreed to replace any of the recalled infusion sets at no additional charge.
Patients with questions about how to return the recalled infusion sets and arrange for replacement sets should contact Medtronic at 1-800-345-8139.
