Medtronic MiniMed 640G Insulin Pump
Promoted by Diabetes UK

Medtronic’s MiniMed 640G marks another step forward for insulin pump technology as it features the SmartGuard algorithm which uses CGM data to predict and prevent hypos. The MiniMed 640G also marks the first of Medtronic’s insulin pumps to feature a colour screen.

As with other Medtronic pumps, the 640G is available as two different models, the MMT-1512, which has a smaller 180 unit reservoir and the MMT-1712, which is about 1 cm taller but allows for a 300 unit reservoir.
Do not use the MiniLink™ transmitter (MMT-7703) with the MiniMed 640G insulin pump as this device does not communicate with this insulin pump.

• SmartGuard – can predict and prevent most hypos
• Integration with Enlite II CGM sensors
• Integrated with Contour NEXT Link 2.4 blood glucose meter
• 8 basal patterns
• 180 unit and 300 unit reservoirs available
• Colour screen –with light adjusting display
• Designed for easy use by both left-handed and right-handed people

In addition to its colour screen, the 640G also makes navigating around menus easier than on Medtronic’s previous pumps, meaning less button presses needed to operate certain functions and change settings.

The main technology leap made by the 640G is its SmartGuard feature. Medtronic’s previous insulin pump, the Paradigm Veo, had a low glucose suspend feature which meant, that when used with an Enlite CGM sensor, the pump would cease delivering insulin if blood sugar levels became low and therefore helped to reduce the chances of a severe hypo occurring.
