Purpose & school orders
Purpose
This guide is intended to help camp directors and staff with the basic
operation of the
MiniMed
780G system . Please note that this booklet does not cover all aspects of
insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) . It is written
for healthcare professionals, clinicians, and individuals with some experience
with diabetes management .
Protocols and backup supplies for camps
Each camper on the MiniMed 780G system should have signed orders upon
arrival that include the name of their device, with programmed settings, as
well as a backup plan if the pump is not able to be used to deliver insulin .
We also want to be sure camps have what they need from Medtronic to ensure a
successful season . To order supplies for camp, please reference the email you
received from Medtronic or email rs.diabetescamps@medtronic.com
to complete our online form .
Please be aware that orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served
basis, and that we will ship the materials and supplies directly to the
address you provide on the order form .
Once camp is over, should you have extra supplies on hand, we would like to
make you aware of Insulin for Life, a worthy non-profit organization that
secures unused insulin, glucose strips and other supplies to be sent to
developing countries to support children with diabetes . More information is
available at their website: www.ifl-usa.org.
Each camp should have a backup plan developed in coordination with the camp’s
healthcare professional/medical director in the event that a pump is not able
to be used to deliver insulin with:
- Rapid-acting insulin pens or syringes, and doses for food and for correcting high blood glucose (BG) .
- Long-acting insulin pens or syringes, and dose if necessary for prolonged stays at school .
The responsibilities of the parent(s)/guardian(s), camp staff, other camp
personnel, and the individual living with diabetes should also be established
.
The MiniMed ™ 780G system components
It’s a good idea for every camper on the MiniMed 780G system to have extra pump and sensor supplies, i .e . a spare, unused AA battery, an infusion set, serter, and reservoir so the individual™ can change their own infusion set and/or sensor or change with the help of a caregiver or trained professional .
Understanding the MiniMed™ 780G system
The MiniMed™ 780G system may be delivering insulin in one of two modes: Manual
Mode and SmartGuard.
Manual Mode is using the pump with or without a continuous glucose monitor
(CGM) in a™ traditional way, like previous insulin pump systems from Medtronic
.
SmartGuard
technology: The system automatically adjusts basal insulin every 5 minutes
based on sensor glucose (SG) readings . It also can automatically deliver a
correction bolus, based on SG readings and trends, to help correct a high SG
reading . A camper using SmartGuard™ technology may still occasionally be
required to do a Blood Glucose (BG) check .
Manual Mode
Using the pump with pre-programmed basal rates .
- Basal rates are pre-programmed for the pump to deliver .
- Meal doses/boluses can be calculated and delivered using the Bolus Wizard feature or with manual boluses as needed .
- May be used with or without CGM .
Home Screen in SmartGuard™ technology
SmartGuard™ technology
Using automated insulin delivery that self adjusts based on SG readings .
- Basal insulin is automatically adjusted every 5 minutes .
- The system may automatically deliver a bolus if the SmartGuard feature determines that a correction bolus is necessary .
- It is still recommended to bolus before meals using the SmartGuard Bolus feature .
- CGM is required to power the system .
Important information about SmartGuard™ technology:
-
Basal insulin and auto correction doses are delivered every 5 minutes, based on sensor glucose (SG) .
-
SmartGuard technology uses a sensor glucose target of 100 (default), 110 or 120 mg/dL as determined by the healthcare provider .
-
A camper can temporarily change the target to 150 mg/dL, like for times when less insulin is needed (i .e . exercise) . Note: no auto corrections will be delivered when using a temp target .
-
Carbs should be entered into the pump before meals .
-
The Guardian™ 4 sensor does not require calibrations, or fingersticks when in SmartGuard technology .*
If using the Guardian™ Sensor 3, BG checks are necessary at least every 12 hours to calibrate the sensor . Fingersticks should be used for dosing decisions . -
A camper may receive an alert if the pump needs an action to be performed to stay in SmartGuard™ technology .
How to tell when the pump is in SmartGuard™ technology:
If you see the Smar shield, tGuard™ the pump is in Smar technology Guard™ .
*Fingersticks required in Manual Mode and to enter SmartGuard™ technology. If symptoms don’t match alerts and readings, use a fingerstick. Refer to user guide. Pivotal trial participants spend average of > 93% in SmartGuard™ technology.
SmartGuard ™ technology
When a camper is wearing the MiniMed™ 780G system and SmartGuard technology
is active, the camper must still perform certain tasks:
-
Bolus for carbs 15-20 minutes before eating. When in SmartGuard™ technology, a camper should bolus for carbs 15-20 minutes before each meal and snack. Giving insulin before a meal can help campers avoid post-meal highs, which could lead to fewer alerts and improved glucose control .
-
Respond to alarms and alerts.
Campers should respond promptly to all alarms and alerts to avoid highs and lows, which could lead to more time spent in SmartGuard technology . -
Check glucose trends.
Campers should check their glucose trends while at camp . It’s reasonable a camper may need to check a BG from time to time if requested by the system .
Important to know:
The MiniMed™ 780G system is a Bluetooth -enabled device. This means that
campers are able to view their sensor glucose values and receive optional
glucose alerts on a smartphone and Apple ® Watch using the MiniMed™ ® Mobile
app . This data can be shared remotely with parents or Connect app if the
camper’s mobile device is connected to the internet . Care partners can also
now follow up to 5 MiniMed caregivers through the CareLink™ Mobile app users .

Why do exits occur?
On average, system users are spending 95% of time in SmartGuard technology .
However, there are times when the pump will exit SmartGuard 1 technology and
return to Manual Mode for safety reasons . What to do if there is an exit?
The SmartGuard Checklist screen (shown at right) helps you or a camper
determine why SmartGuard technology is not active . Go to the screen to see if
there is something the camper can do to activate SmartGuard™ technology, such
as check a BG . Or you can go there from the home screen by selecting: Menu >
SmartGuard > SmartGuard Checklist Manual Mode
If there is an exit, the pump will go into Manual Mode . In Manual Mode, a
camper’s pre-programmed Basal rates will start automatically.
Also, a camper can use the Bolus Wizard feature to bolus for meals and
corrections .
Note: Suspend on low and Suspend before low will turn back on after a
SmartGuard technology exit, if they were programmed to be on .
When in doubt, call the camper’s parent, healthcare provider, or Medtronic’s
