Guardian™ Link 3 Transmitter Kit for the MiniMed™ 770G Insulin Pump

Description

With Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), you get a more complete picture of your glucose levels, which can lead to better treatment decisions and better glucose control.


Benefits of CGM:
A blood glucose meter only provides a brief “snapshot” of your glucose level at a single moment in time. A CGM device gives you a greater view of your glucose trends. CGM provides you with:

  • The direction your glucose levels are going
  • Early notification of oncoming lows and highs
  • Alerts for lows or highs while you are sleeping or anytime
  • Insights into how food, physical activity, medication, and illness impact your diabetes

CGM can provide valuable information at crucial points during the day, including before and during exercise, prior to driving, before test/exam-taking, and in the middle of the night. It is still required to check blood glucose levels with a fingerstick before therapy adjustment.


As part of the MiniMed™ 770G system, CGM offers:
Comfort

  • Up to 7 days of wear
  • Easy insertion
  • Flexible design that moves with your body

Continuous glucose monitoring

  • Glucose readings every five minutes, right on your pump

Complete picture

  • Tracks your levels throughout the day, showing the effects of food, exercise and other activities
  • Up-to-date information that makes it easier to spot trends and make adjustments

Helpful alerts

  • Timely notifications when you’re going high or low
  • Adjustable volume for greater convenience

CGM starter kit includes:

  • Guardian™ Link 3 Transmitter
  • Guardian™ Link 3 Charger
  • Guardian™ Link 3 Test Plug

NOTE: This starter kit is only compatible with MiniMed™ 770G insulin pump.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: MINIMED™780G SYSTEM WITH SMARTGUARD™ TECHNOLOGY WITH GUARDIAN™ 4 SENSOR

 

The MiniMed™ 780G system is intended for continuous delivery of basal insulin at selectable rates, and the administration of insulin boluses at selectable amounts for the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons seven years of age and older requiring insulin as well as for the continuous monitoring and trending of glucose levels in the fluid under the skin.

 

The MiniMed™ 780G System includes SmartGuard™ technology, which can be programmed to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor glucose values and can suspend delivery of insulin when the SG value falls below or is predicted to fall below predefined threshold values.

 

The Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G System consists of the following devices: MiniMed™ 780G Insulin Pump, the Guardian™ 4 Transmitter, the Guardian™ 4 Sensor, One-press serter, the Accu-Chek™ Guide Link blood glucose meter, and the Accu-Chek™ Guide Test Strips. The system requires a prescription from a healthcare professional.

 

The Guardian™ 4 Sensor is intended for use with the MiniMed™ 780G system and the Guardian 4 transmitter to monitor glucose levels for the management of diabetes. The sensor is intended for single use and requires a prescription. The Guardian™ (4) sensor is indicated for up to seven days of continuous use.

 

The Guardian™ 4 sensor is not intended to be used directly to make therapy adjustments while the MiniMed™ 780G is operating in manual mode. All therapy adjustments in manual mode should be based on measurements obtained using a blood glucose meter and not on values provided by the Guardian™ 4 sensor. The Guardian™ 4 sensor has been studied and is approved for use in patients ages 7 years and older and in the arm insertion site only. Do not use the Guardian™ 4 sensor in the abdomen or other body sites including the buttocks, due to unknown or different performance that could result in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

WARNING: Do not use the SmartGuard™ feature for people who require less than 8 units or more than 250 units of total daily insulin per day. A total daily dose of at least 8 units, but no more than 250 units, is required to operate in the SmartGuard™ feature.

WARNING:Do not use the MiniMed™ 780G system until appropriate training has been received from a healthcare professional. Training is essential to ensure the safe use of the MiniMed™ 780G system.

WARNING: Do not use SG values to make treatment decisions, including delivering a bolus, while the pump is in Manual Mode. When the SmartGuard™ feature is active and you are no longer in Manual Mode, the pump uses an SG value, when available, to calculate a bolus amount. However, if your symptoms do not match the SG value, use a BG meter to confirm the SG value. Failure to confirm glucose levels when your symptoms do not match the SG value can result in the infusion of too much or too little insulin, which may cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

 

Pump therapy is not recommended for people whose vision or hearing does not allow for the recognition of pump signals, alerts, or alarms. The safety of the MiniMed™ 780G system has not been studied in pregnant women, persons with type 2 diabetes, or in persons using other anti- hyperglycemic therapies that do not include insulin. For complete details of the system, including product and important safety information such as indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions associated with system and its components, please consult https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/important-safety-information#minimed-780g and the appropriate user guide at https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/download-library.
