Reason

Medtronic MiniMed is recalling the MiniMed 620G and 640G insulin pumps because there are certain scenarios where the set Bolus screen will not timeout, which could cause confusion by showing a bolus amount that is no longer appropriate.

Action

A customern notification letter sent to customers on 6/19/15 who received the MiniMed 640G insulin pumps. The purpose of the letter is to inform customers that when using Bolus Wizard with the MiniMed 640G insulin pumps, that there are certain scenarios where the set Bolus screen will not timeout, which could cause confusion by showing a bolus amount that is no longer appropriate. Customers are informed that Medtronic MiniMed has updated the user guide which instructs to respond promptly to set Bolus screens, and remind not to activate delivery on a bolus based on a blood glucose value that is more than 12 minutes old. The letter informs the customers of the summary of changes in the MiniMed 640G insulin pump user guides.
