A MiniMed Paradigm insulin pump is a device about the size of a pager that diabetics can wear to deliver insulin at a continuous rate to their bodies. The pump is not implanted in the body and can be worn on a belt or carried in a pocket.

Medtronic Insulin Pump Supplies

The system for delivering the insulin consists of:

• The pump, which has a reservoir to hold enough insulin for two to three days, buttons to change the amount of insulin delivered, and a graph that shows the trend of glucose in the body
• A sensor for detecting how much glucose is in the body
• A transmitter for sending the glucose information to the pump
• An infusion set—a thin plastic tube through which the pump delivers insulin to the patient’s body

Medtronic, Inc., the manufacturer of the device is headquartered in Minneapolis.  The company reports that insulin pump therapy is:

• The most advanced method for delivering insulin to diabetics and managing their illness
• Allows insulin delivery to be both precise and adjustable

The insulin pump replaces the need for diabetics to inject insulin, which must be done numerous times throughout the day. The pump system monitors glucose with a small implantable sensor that is connected to a transmitter. The transmitter sends information to the pump about the patients’ glucose levels and allows them to monitor their glucose levels throughout the day.  Depending upon their activity (for example eating or exercising), patients can push a button to increase the amount of glucose that is delivered.

Medtronic Insulin Infusion Pump Recall

On July 10, 2009, the company issued a voluntary recall of specific lots of Quick-set ® infusion sets, the a thin plastic tube that carries insulin from the reservoir of the pump to the body of the patient. In a bulletin, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that the sets may not allow the pump to vent air pressure properly. As a result, the pump might deliver too much or too little insulin and possibly cause serious injury or death.

The sets being recalled are from Lot 8 and have reference numbers:

• MMT-396
• MMT-397
• MMT-398
• MMT-399

The FDA said the lot number is marked clearly on the product box label and on each individual infusion package set. Medtronic reported that about two percent of the Lot 8 sets might not work properly.

Medtronic Insulin Pump Therapy and Legal Action

If you feel you have been harmed by using the recalled infusion sets from Lot 8, as listed above, you may be able to claim damages by speaking with our Medtronic lawyer. You can find out more information about your particular legal situation by contacting one of our legal professionals today.
