FDA DevicesMiniMed 780G Insulin Pump (MMT-1884, MMT-1885, MMT-1886, MMT-1894, MMT-1895, MMT-1896)
MiniMed 780G Insulin Pump (MMT-1884, MMT-1885, MMT-1886, MMT-1894, MMT-1895, MMT-1896)
All Medtronic MiniMed infusion pumps (Paradigm series, 600 series, and BLE 700 series) were found to be affected by unintended over- and under-delivery of insulin when the pump is elevated or lowered relative to the infusion site, respectively, because of changes in gravitational force impacting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures. Insulin over-delivery, which can occur when the pump is elevated relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An under-delivery of insulin, which can occur at lowered pump height conditions relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.

RefleXion X1 Radiotherapy System Model RXM1000, Part #800-00006-00
Due to a radiotherapy medical system software defect, when performing angular roll corrections followed by a repeat localization, the roll corrections applied in the initial localization scan are not carried through to treatment delivery leading to the treatment plan dose being delivered to the incorrect location, potentially a displacement of 5mm or higher, with a 10% to 20% underdose.

Kits contain recalled Olympus biopsy valves. Olympus is investigating an increase in complaints associated with rubber fragment detachment in the slit of single use biopsy valves. Potential consequences associated with detachment of fragments from valve include foreign body in patient's tracheobronchial tree, which may require intervention for removal. Other potential consequences include inflammatory response, hypoxia, and prolongation of procedure.

Component: No
Following a complaint investigation, Olympus identified a potential defect in the 24V power supply module in some SOLTIVE laser units which may cause the system to become inoperable. Additionally, smoke or a burning smell may occur. By design, the issue causing the smoke or burning smell would be contained within the internal laser console enclosure and would be self-extinguishing.

ENFIT G-TUBE CONNECTOR, MEDLINE Item No. ENFIT1010GC
Connectors were not manufactured to required dimensional specifications and may not form a proper seal with ENFit-style devices, which could lead to leakage. Leakage may result in delayed care and fluid loss. Additional consequences may also occur if user over-tightens the connector to stop the leakage, including additional clinical intervention, risk of infection, patient discomfort, and prolonged recovery process.
