MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump
<p>The MiniMed™ 780G system is an automated insulin delivery system consisting of an insulin pump and integrated CGM for people living with diabetes.</p>
Features
What is Meal Detection™ technology?
The MiniMed™ 780G system uses current and past sensor glucose trends to detect a missed meal bolus*
If the system detects a meal based on the sensor glucose's rising rate of change, it can automatically deliver stronger correction doses while sensor glucose values are rising, up to every 5 minutes.
To learn more about how Meal Detection™ technology works, watch this video featuring distinguished engineer, Lou Lintereur.

Yes, the FDA has approved the MiniMed™ 780G system and Medicare has completed the coding verification process. Patient orders will follow the normal processes for shipping.
Using the system does not completely replace fingersticks but patients will likely check their blood glucose less frequently. The Guardian™ 4 sensor does not require a blood glucose fingerstick to calibrate the system or make treatment decisions with SmartGuard™ technology†. For much of the time, patients will not need to do a fingerstick. However, when using the Guardian™ 4 sensor with the MiniMed™ 780G system, safety precautions were put in place to maximize the performance of the SmartGuard™ algorithm. Because of this, there are instances when the pump will prompt a blood glucose request from the user.
* Refers to SmartGuard™ technology. Some user interaction required. Individual results may vary.
† Fingersticks required in manual mode & to enter SmartGuard™. If symptoms don’t match alerts & readings, use a fingerstick. Refer to user guide. Pivotal trial participants spend avg of > 93% in SmartGuard™.
Yes. The MiniMed™ 780G system transmits to the patient's smartphone via wireless technology. Patients and care partners are able to see real-time sugar trends on a smartphone anytime. Available to download at no cost for most iOS and Android smartphones. View this reference chart for a list of compatible smartphones.
At the time of manufacture and when the reservoir and tubing are properly inserted, your pump is waterproof. It is protected against the effects of being underwater to a depth of up to 12 feet (3.6 meters) for up to 24 hours. This is classified as IPX8 rating. See user guide for more details. The sensor and transmitter are water-resistant at 8 feet (2.4 meters) for up to 30 minutes. CGM readings may not be transmitted from the CGM to the pump while in water.
* Taking a bolus 15 – 20 minutes before a meal helps to keep blood sugar levels under control after eating
† Refers to auto correct, which provides bolus assistance. Can deliver all auto correction doses automatically without user interaction, feature can be turned on and off
‡ Refers to SmartGuard™ feature. Individual results may vary
§ Fingersticks required in manual mode & to enter SmartGuard™. If symptoms don’t match alerts & readings, use a fingerstick. Refer to user guide. Pivotal trial participants spend avg of > 93% in SmartGuard™
|| The extended wear infusion set can be worn for up to 7 days. Current infusion sets are recommended for up to 3 days of wear
¶ Recommended settings in adults: SmartGuard™ Target: 100 mg/dL, 2 hr AIT, ages <=15: Start at SmartGuard™ Target: 110mg/Dl and reduce to 100 mg/Dl if no hypos, 2 hr AIT
** Due to inherent real-world study limitations, caution is advised when attempting to extrapolate these results to new patients. There could be significant differences.
