The FDA has issued a recall on a Medtronic insulin pump that is commonly used by people with Type 1 diabetes.
One person has died, more than 2,000 have been injured and 26,000 complaints have been received, according to the FDA.
The recall is for the Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pumps, models 630G (before Oct. of 2019) and 670G (before Aug. of 2019).
The pumps have a broken or missing retainer ring, meaning the insulin cartridge cannot be properly locked into place. This could result in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Here are the specifics:
