Affected Products

A. MiniMed 630G Insulin Pump

B. MiniMed 670G Insulin Pump

Reason

There have been reported incidents of a loose reservoir that can no longer be locked into the pump. The reservoir can become loose due to a broken or missing retainer ring that prevents a proper lock. The retainer ring can be broken, for example as a result of dropping or bumping pump on a hard surface.

If the reservoir is not properly locked into the pump, it could lead to over or under delivery of insulin, which could then result in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
