United StatesMiniMed 780G Insulin Pump (REF MMT-1885, MMT-1886, MMT-1895, MMT-1896; software version 6.62) is affected. Medtronic recalled the pumps because a software anomaly when paired with the Instinct sensor can cause the pump to unexpectedly stop delivering insulin and display Pump Error 53 immediately followed by Pump Error 23, which may lead to delayed therapy and an increased risk of hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

The hazard
A software anomaly can occur when the pump is paired with the Instinct sensor. Under certain circumstances, the pump unexpectedly stops delivering insulin and displays two error messages back-to-back: Pump Error 53 followed immediately by Pump Error 23. Insulin delivery will stop which may lead to delayed therapy and an increased risk of hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
