MiniMed Insulin Pump Lawyers

MiniMed insulin pump lawyers provide legal counsel and representation to individuals who have suffered harm from these medical devices and their accessories, including the Quick-set Infusion Sets that were recalled. If you have been injured by the use of these medical products, a MiniMed insulin pump lawyer is the legal professional to turn to for advice and help.

The recalled Quick-set infusion sets may have an extremely serious defect: the infusion tube may not let the insulin pump vent air pressure adequately, and this could result in the pump delivering too much insulin or too little insulin, causing serious injury to the user or even his or her death.

The insulin pumps are used by hundreds of thousands of individuals with diabetes, and the infusion set that works with the pump is a thin plastic tube (like a catheter) that delivers the insulin from the pump to the injection site. The Quick-set infusion set is typically replaced by the user every three days.

July 2009 Recall of Lot 8 Quick-sets

Medtronic, Inc., the maker of both the MiniMed insulin pump and the Quick-set infusion sets, recalled about 60,000 of the infusion sets in July 2009. The infusion sets were part of "Lot 8," marked with lot numbers starting with "8" and with the reference numbers MMT-397, MMT-398, MMT-399. The lot number (example: 8xxxxxxxx) is clearly marked on the Quick-set box label and on each individual infusion set package.

Symptoms of Quick-set Infusion Set Malfunction

Too much or too little insulin delivered to a diabetic can have extremely grave consequences. The consequences of having received too much or too little insulin from a MiniMed Infusion Pump and Quick-set infusion set may include:

unexplainable fatigue
