Minimed Diabetic Infusion Set

Minimed Diabetic Infusion Sets are used to administer fluids from a container to a patient. Specifically, this device is an insulin administration set comprised of thin, plastic tubing that delivers insulin from the insulin infusion pump to the body. At the end of the tubing is a soft, flexible cannula, which is a small, tapered tube. With the help of an insertion device, the cannula is inserted under the skin. One insulin infusion set is intended to be used for 2 or 3 days and then disposed of.

There have been complaints of bent cannulas, occlusions within the tubing, leaking at the insertion site, and accidental dislodging of the Minimed Diabetic Infusion Set while removing the insertion device. Additionally, there have been reports of adhesive failure, which causes the device to detach from the skin. These problems have resulted in the interruption of insulin flow to the patients.

MiniMed Paradigm Quick-set Infusion Set, Models MMT-359S6, MMT-359S9, MMT-359L6 MMT-359L9, are cited in the recall. The Minimed Diabetic Infusion Sets recall is classified as Class 1, the most urgent recall the FDA can recommend.
