The Medtronic MiniMed remote controller (MMT-500 or MMT-503) Potential security issue notification informs healthcare professionals of a potential security risk related to the Medtronic MiniMed 508 and Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm series insulin pumps when using the corresponding remote controller.
The security risk allows an unauthorized individual to copy the wireless radio frequency (RF) signals from the user’s remote controller and use them to deliver an involuntary bolus of insulin to the user, which could lead to potential health risks such as hypoglycemia.
Medtronic reminds healthcare professionals and patients to take precautions to minimize the risk of this vulnerability, including turning off the Easy Bolus feature when not intending to use the remote bolus option, being attentive to pump alerts, and avoiding connection to third-party devices not authorized by Medtronic.
