Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Medtronic MiniMed, Inc. CareLink Clinic, REF: MMT-7350 recall: CareLink Clinic software version 4.4A includes a software defect

Recall published 5 days ago

CareLink Clinic software version 4.4A includes a software defect in the Settings Calculator feature in which the calculation logic fails to use custom values entered by healthcare professionals (HCPs) for Total Daily Dose (TDD) or Long-acting insulin when calculating the Carb Ratio, Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF), and Max Recommended value for Rapid-acting insulin. Instead, the calculator continues to use the system-recommended values, resulting in incorrect rapid-acting insulin parameters. If an HCP or patient inputs these incorrect setting values into the patient's MiniMed Go app, the patient could deliver higher or lower insulin doses compared to their insulin needs, potentially leading to over/under delivery of insulin with a severity ranging from Catastrophic (death from severe hypoglycemia) to Minor (self-treatable hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia).

The hazard: Device malfunction

The notice describes a specific failure mode. That detail is what a clinician needs, because the right action differs sharply between a monitor, an implant and a test kit.

Why it matters: The device may not perform as intended — a mechanical failure, a software defect, an inaccurate reading, or an alarm that does not sound. For a device someone depends on, the consequence of the failure is usually worse than the failure itself.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If the device supports a vital function, do not disable or remove it on your own judgement. Contact the clinician who prescribed or fitted it, and use the back-up arrangement they gave you. Go to an emergency department if the symptoms the device is meant to manage are getting worse, or if an implanted device gives an unexpected alarm or shock.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

  1. Match the model, catalogue, lot and serial numbers on your device against the identifiers listed on this page.

Claiming on a recalled device

Device recalls are tracked by serial and lot number, so your claim moves faster if you lead with those.

  • Have the model, catalogue, lot and serial numbers ready before you call — they are on the device label or its box.
  • Ask explicitly whether your unit is in the affected range; many recalls cover only part of a model line.
  • If you need the device daily, ask what interim arrangement they offer while the remedy is carried out.
  • Log the date, the name and the reference number of every call. Device recalls can run for months.
