Agency labeled the recall as Class 2, meaning there is a reasonable risk of serious adverse events or a remote risk of serious events. An inaccurate bolus screen issue has prompted a recall of nearly 2,000 MiniMed 640G insulin pumps in ten European countries. According to a recall notice posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) website, there may be situations where “the set Bolus screen will not timeout, which could cause confusion by showing a bolus amount that is no longer appropriate.” The agency labeled the recall as Class 2, meaning there is a reasonable risk of serious adverse events or a remote risk of serious events.

Medtronic sent a letter to customers on June 19th informing them of the inaccurate bolus screen issue

Medtronic sent a letter to customers on June 19th informing them of the inaccurate bolus screen issue. The company instructed customers to not activate bolus insulin delivery based on a blood glucose value older than 12 minutes.

The pump was distributed to Australia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Medtronic plans to submit the device for PMA submission in the United States later this year, according to Fierce Medical Devices.

My sister was exposed to 9/11 toxins and developed several types of cancer. She chose Parker Waichman to engage the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and was assigned Tina Morace as her paralegal. Tina was helpful, professional and compassionate in helping us gather medical records and other important information required for the case. Tina was clear and concise in followup queries from the Fund and was quick to respond to our questions. When my sister's condition deteriorated and she passed, Tina was so thoughtful, patient and helpful when I had to address continued Fund followup questions. I will always be thankful for having Tina in our lives. She helped make my sister's last years easier in this aspect. And she was a knowledgeable friend to me, assisting in information gathering and consoling me in my loss. Thank you Parker Waichman. Thank you Tina Morace. Thank you Tina Morace.
