What should I do?
Check whether you have this device (see the product and lot details below). If you do, stop using it and contact the company or your healthcare provider for next steps.
What's the hazard?
Some MiniMed Flex insulin pumps were released with missing (i.e., devices with no result or abort test results are presumed to have failed) or failed verification test results in one or more of 9 functional tests. The unverified/failed pumps released to users potentially have one or more of the following issues: inoperable pump at setup, lack of protection for moisture exposure, slow battery charging, disconnection issues with other system components (i.e., continuous glucose monitoring sensor or MiniMed mobile app), reduced ability to detect occlusion events, compromised audio for pump alarms/alerts, and/or inaccurate insulin delivery.
