Action Taken
On 05/24/2022, Medtronic began communicating an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" Letter to customers informing them of the battery cap issue where if the metal contact becomes loose or falls off from the battery cap, it can result in an incomplete battery connection, leading to no power source to the insulin pump. Actions Required by customers: Before beginning: Do not remove the battery cap unless you have a new battery available. If you have a spare undamaged battery cap, ensure it is available nearby. During routine battery replacement, check the metal contact on your pump battery cap to see if it is loose, damaged, or missing. You can view animated instructions on how to inspect the battery cap contact through our website at www.medtronicdiabetes.com/battery-cap-guide. " If the battery cap contact is damaged, immediately replace it with a spare cap that you received with original pump shipment, and discard the damaged cap. If no spare cap, stop using pump and revert to a back-up plan per healthcare provider s recommendations. Then, request a spare battery cap online at www.medtronicdiabetes.com/battery-cap-form, or contact Medtronic 24-Hour Technical Support at 877-496-7933. " If unsure that the battery cap contact are damaged, replace it with a spare cap or request a spare battery cap online at www.medtronicdiabetes.com/battery-cap-form, or contact Medtronic 24-Hour Technical Support at 877-496-7933. " If the battery cap contact is not damaged, continue to use your pump and monitor for cap damage during battery replacement, and complete and return the attached confirmation form by mail. Medtronic will send you a spare cap in the coming months. " Always pay close attention to the pump and pump battery status after inserting the new battery.
