Are you playing on PC with M&K? Did you use a power or have the powers screen open just before you use the medi-gel?? Reason I ask, is some people have noted an issue that when you open the powers screen and use a power the medi-gel icon drops down to where the powers bar used to be, and for a short period of time, if you press fire, it activates medi-gel. One work around for this is to NOT leave your cursor on the powers bar and instead raise it up so it doesn't get a chance to activate medi-gel. I personally, never spec a character to First Aide, except maybe one who has to have it to unlock another skill, and I rely on the medical exo-skeletons and such on armors.
I apologize for not giving more information, I am playing on PC with Mouse and Keyboard. I've encountered random medi-gel usage a lot even though I have squad powers completely off. I'm not using powers or bringing up the power screen whenever it randomly medi-gels, it's usually when I attempt to fire an overheated weapon. That being said, I'll keep a closer eye on my inputs and get back to you.
I wish they would just disable the animation for medi-gel usage when a squad mate uses First Aid. I don't understand why this isn't the case in the first place. It's really sad that I played Mass Effect 1's original PC edition and had a smoother combat experience than this.
If you still have this issue, you could test if remapping the heal button would solve it.
Unfortunately it still heals randomly with a different keybinding. I was having the issue with heal on the default keybinding (V) and am still encountering it with heal on a custom keybinding (Left Alt). I also swapped the functions of (Shift) and (Space) because they were nonsensical and didn't mirror Mass Effect 1's control scheme that I had already become familiarized with.
Thank you for the suggestion though! I'm making sure to not touch the keyboard when the random medi-gel administration occurs and I also have squad powers off completely.
