Introduction
Thank you for choosing Medtronic MiniMed as your partner in helping you gain better control of your
diabetes. Whether you are beginning pump therapy for the first time or upgrading from a previous
model, we believe that the combination of state-of-the-art technology and the simple, menu-driven
programming of the pump will provide many benefits.
This User Guide is designed to help you to understand pump therapy and the operation of your
pump. We strongly recommend that you work closely with your healthcare professional for a safe and
complete pump start.
Your pump is indicated for the continuous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the
management of diabetes mellitus for persons requiring insulin. Based on your settings, the pump
delivers your custom basal automatically and continuously 24-hours a day. It also provides bolus
deliveries to support your immediate insulin needs for food intake and/or high blood glucose. The Bolus
Wizard feature can calculate the amount of bolus insulin you need.
Availability
The pump and accompanying products are available from Medtronic MiniMed and authorized
distributors.
