Recall Z-1986-2013— Medtronic MiniMed
Class II · Terminated
Class II FDA medical device recall by Medtronic MiniMed, initiated 2013-07-03, terminated 2014-01-16. It names 2 FDA 510(k) clearances: K032005, K001828. Product: Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm Reservoirs, Model No: MMT-326A (1.8mL) and MMT-332A (3.0mL) The model MMT-326A and MMT-332A are syringe type insulin reservoirs intended for use with Medtronic Paradigm series insulin infusion pumps. The two reservoirs are identical except for barrel length and as a result, maximum insulin capacity. The MMT-326A holds a maximum of 1.8ml of insulin whereas the longer MMT-332A reservoir can hold up to 3.0ml of insulin. Both reservoirs are supplied sterile and are labeled for single use. Typically, the reservoir is replaced every tow or three days at the time of infusion set replacement. The Paradigm reservoirs have a shelf life of three years post sterilization. Product Quantity Distributed (Int) 669,672 units. Reason: Medtronic is recalling certain lots of Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm Reservoirs MMT-326A (1.8mL) and MMT-332A (3.0mL) used with Medtronic Paradigm insulin pumps because they may have increased risk for leaking. A leak in the reservoir may result in delivery of less insulin than intended. In addition, if there is a leaky reservoir and an insulin blockage occurs in the infusion set, the pump may not.
