Medtronic MiniMed 780G System User Guide

Medtronic MiniMed 780G System

Product Information

The MiniMedTM 780G system with GuardianTM 4 sensor is a continuous glucose monitoring system designed to help manage diabetes. The system is equipped with a sensor that can be inserted into the body to monitor glucose levels continuously, eliminating the need for frequent fingersticks. The system also comes with a pump that delivers insulin to the body based on the sensor readings, allowing for more accurate and personalized insulin dosing.

Top 5 Tips for Product Usage

1. Location, location, location:
   Approved sensor insertion locations vary by age. Please refer to the user guide for details. Choose a flat area on the back of your arm where you can pinch an inch that’s also free of scar tissue for best results.

2. Do not fear if Sensor Updating appears:
   Since the system is free of calibrations, additional system checks constantly assess sensor reliability and, from time to time, this may lead to a Sensor Updating alert. In most cases, this resolves on its own and is unlikely to result in a need to change the sensor. No action is required unless the pump alerts you.

3. Make it stick:
   If additional tape isn’t enough, consider using an optional skin adhesive after you insert the sensor but before you apply the first Oval Tape.

4. Wash your hands to test a BG:
   Keep your hands fresh and clean when testing blood glucose as your pump is using all entered BG readings to calibrate the sensor. Using a 70% alcohol wipe or hand sanitizer is okay.

5. Make your alerts work for you:
   Personalize high and low glucose limits within your sensor settings. Use the Silence Sensor Alerts feature when getting an audible alert may cause frustration. For example, during an important meeting, a movie, or a nap! Note that the High SG Alert, Low SG alarm, and the SmartGuardTM exit alert cannot be silenced.

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.
