The medtronic mini-med insulin pump serial no.
(b)(4) malfunction and was reading low blood glucose, i ate and drank a juice, and the bs when from 53 mg/dl to 43 mg/dl after eating.
I was in a place that i could not check my blood glucose immediately, but because i am a pharmacist, i knew that it was an error.
It kept alarming until i got home and check my bs which on the contour meter was 349 mg/dl.
I then decided to stop using the pump, as the pump has been constantly asking to recheck blood glucose up to 6 times per day, the sensor may stop working and you have to change the sensor after 3-4 days, and the product cannot be trusted to give you the exact values when needed.
I called medtronic today (b)(6) 2021 and reported the problem and was given a case no.
Of (b)(4).
Will follow up tomorrow with my doctor to determine alternative therapy.
Results on pump continue to decrease although food was eaten.
Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
