The verdict

Medtronic MiniMed runs at 18% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Instruments, mechanical microsurgical, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Medtronic MiniMed: 0.6 TCR = 18% of Instruments, mechanical microsurgical, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Medtronic MiniMed safety composite

Medtronic MiniMed scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
