MiniMed Insulin Pump Lawsuits

Several lawsuits against insulin pump manufacturer Medtronic Inc. have begun to surface as the medical devices have been linked to serious injuries and deaths related to MiniMed Insulin Pumps. Reported injuries have been attributed to a manufacturing defect that has caused some of the insulin pumps to deliver the wrong dose of insulin to patients.

Seeking Compensation For Damages

Patients who are injured or killed as a result of an insulin overdose (or too little dose) can seek compensation for their injuries and losses by filing a MiniMed Insulin Pump lawsuit. It is important for injured persons to seek help from an experienced attorney who can provide the level of knowledge and expertise it takes to appropriately handle cases of this complexity.

Experienced attorneys will be able to help those injured and families of those who have lost a loved one recover damages including (but not limited to):

Physical pain
Emotional trauma
Medical/treatment costs
Funeral/burial expenses
Cost of living in cases involving permanent disabilities
Lost economic and social support in wrongful death cases

Medtronic Infusion Set Recall

After discovering the potential health risks associated with the insulin pumps, Medtronic Inc. recalled approximately three million Quick-set Infusion sets that are used in conjunction with the MiniMed Paradigm insulin pumps. Infusions sets are the disposable plastic tubes that administer the insulin to the patient.

The recall was based on a manufacturing defect that may affect the air pressure in the infusion sets. Affected infusion sets may administer too much or too little insulin to the patients. The recall included infusion sets with lot numbers that start with an “8.”

Insulin Overdose Symptoms

Diabetes patients who begin to develop any of the following signs or symptoms should seek medical attention immediately as they may be experiencing an insulin overdose:

Severe headache
Increased/rapid heartbeat
Nausea
Tremors, anxiety
Uncontrolled sweating

MiniMed Insulin Pump and Hypoglycemia

One of the most dangerous risks associated with insulin overdose is hypoglycemia, a condition in which a person’s blood sugar (glucose) is too low. Symptoms include: cold sweats, confusion, double vision, convulsions, fatigue and general discomfort. Severe hypoglycemia can result in seizures, coma and death.

Medtronic is providing patients new Quick-set infusion sets in exchange for the recalled ones, free of charge. Injury attorneys will be investigating cases involving serious injuries and deaths among patients who used a recalled infusion set.
