Causa
An external security researcher has identified a potential vulnerability related to the minimed™ paradigm™ family of insulin pumps and corresponding remote controller. the researcher’s report states that an unauthorized individual in close proximity of an insulin pump user could potentially copy the wireless radio frequency (rf) signals from the user’s remote controller (while they are in the process of delivering a remote bolus) and play those back later to deliver an involuntary bolus of insulin to the pump user. this could lead to potential health risks such as hypoglycemia if additional insulin is delivered beyond the user’s insulin requirements.

tunneling that are not presented in the current dbs labeling. the following events are associated with the dbs implant and tunneling the extension from the lead to the ins:
• cases of spinal accessory nerve injury
• severe bleeding or vascular injury
• an extension inadvertently implanted through the ribs and later found to be close to the heart requiring revision
• tunneling too superficially resulting in an extension that exited and then re-entered the neck which wasn’t discovered until the surgical drape was removed.

Causa
Medtronic has confirmed four (4) instances of loss of therapy during recharging of a restoresensor implantable neurostimulator, for a rate of 0.007% (4 / 54.516) of devices distributed worldwide. by design, stimulation therapy turns off when battery voltage depletes below 3.575 volts. in the reported occurrences, a charging session was terminated prior to obtaining a recharge threshold voltage of 3.615, which triggered a rapid battery depletion state. as a result of the rapid battery discharge state, the implanted neurostimulators depleted to 1.925 volts (a state of overdischarge) in one to two days rather than the typical 30 days. insufficient coupling (charging efficiency) between the recharger and the implanted neurostimulator during the recharge session was found to be a key factor in the reported events. note that once a device is in the over discharge state, therapy is interrupted with return of patient symptoms and can only be restored using the physician recharge mode of the recharger. as described in labeling, if three occurrences of overdischarge occur, the neurostimulator will trigger end of life, and must be replaced to resume therapy.
