Our most advanced breakthrough in glucose control You think a lot about controlling your glucose levels, but it’s challenging because your levels can be affected by diet, stress and exercise. What if you had a system that could give you better control? What if you had a system that could think? The MiniMed® 640G features innovative technology that thinks about your diabetes and helps you achieve better glucose control.† By switching to a MiniMed® 640G Insulin Pump Systemˆ, you replace the need for multiple daily injections, and can have better control over your glucose levels. This makes it easier to do things like eating out, sleeping in on weekends, playing sports and travelling abroad for trips or holidays, without having to plan.
Reduce injections to one every three days* An insulin pump can help achieve better glucose control than multiple daily injections1. The MiniMed® 640G insulin pump delivers fast-acting insulin 24 hours a day. It does this by using a needle to introduce an infusion set, a short soft tube (called a cannula) that sits comfortably under the skin.
One needle every three days instead of 12*

Eat when you want Food and carb counting play a central role in diabetes management. With daily schedules being so variable, managing insulin requirements at meal times can be difficult. When using multiple daily injections it can be even harder to manage those unexpected changes, such as delayed or skipped meals and diverse diets.
With an insulin pump, food management can be easier Are there times when you fancy a snack? The built in Bolus WizardTM calculator feature helps to ensure you are getting precisely the right amount of insulin (in increments as small as 0.025 units) by taking into account three key pieces of information to determine the right dose. 1. The insulin already in your system 2. Your current glucose levels (using the linked CONTOUR® NEXT LINK 2.4 from Bayer blood glucose meter) 3. Carbohydrate intake and personal insulin settings With the touch of a few buttons you can adjust your insulin dose, allowing you to snack without needing additional injections.

Gain the freedom to be active
“
I feel that an insulin pump will help people improve and manage their Type 1 diabetes, whether you’re someone who walks every morning… right through to professional athletes. Jason In better control with his pump since 2010
”
Like to exercise whenever you want and not have to carb load or worry about hypos? Whether you’re an amateur or an elite athlete, a MiniMed® 640G insulin pump can help take the worry and hassle out of physical activity. It gives you more flexibility and control so that you can exercise when you want.
Better control at your fingertips Unlike multiple daily injections, the MiniMed® 640G insulin pump can be adjusted instantly and conveniently. With the touch of a few buttons you can match the rate of insulin needed for your activity. This can help reduce the risk of low glucose levels (hypoglycaemia) during and after exercise.
Small and discreet Your MiniMed® 640G is smaller than a mobile phone and can be worn almost anywhere, on your belt, or conveniently tucked away inside your pocket or bra. Medtronic also offers accessories including belt clips, pouches, silicone cases and a choice of customised covers to suit your taste.
Flexibility When you want to swim, play contact sports, bathe, or get close and intimate, you have the freedom to easily disconnect the pump#. 5
Switch On - smart technology that thinks about your glucose Medtronic gives you an integrated approach to achieve better control. The goal of insulin pump therapy is to mimic the role of the pancreas and keep blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible.
The innovative MiniMed® connection offers secure insulin delivery, with an infusion set for every lifestyle.

Our exclusive SmartGuard™ technology is a breakthrough in diabetes control.
MiniMed® 640G helps you closely match your insulin needs to your daily routine. You can set friendly reminders or personalised bolus doses and basal patterns. Also, the simple home screen and menu layout minimise steps needed to manage your diabetes, so you can focus more on your day.
The latest advancement of SmartGuard™ mimics some of the functions of a healthy pancreas by automatically stopping insulin delivery when your sensor glucose is predicted to approach a low limit - and resuming delivery when your levels recover.7 Dynamically stopping insulin delivery has been shown to reduce the length of low glucose levels, as well as the number of nocturnal hypoglycaemic events.8,9

Get the full picture with Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) How does it work? A small Guardian™ 2 Link transmitter attaches to the sensor and wirelessly transmits glucose data to your pump. This information is updated every five minutes. The advantage is that you can see what your current glucose level is, as well as enabling your pump to alarm you when you are likely to have a low or a high, day or night. Even if you sleep through the alarms, the pump will automatically suspend insulin delivery if you are predicted to reach your pre-set low levels, via our SmartGuard™ Technology.ˆ

Although fingersticks are still necessary for 10 calibration with blood glucose, the CGM sensor will provide 5 you with up to 288 readings a day (every 5 minutes), giving 0 you real-time information. The small glucose sensor is worn under the skin and measures your interstitial glucose (glucose between the body’s cells). This sensor is disposable and can be worn for up to six days.

What does insulin therapy cost? If you have private health insurance covering insulin pumps, you will generally be eligible for full reimbursement of the insulin pump by your health fund, provided you have served your waiting period. A Medtronic Diabetes Therapy Consultant can help you navigate this process. Contact us on 1800 777 808 or speak with your health fund provider.
What are the ongoing costs? Medtronic infusion sets and reservoirs are available from the NDSS through Diabetes Australia for $25 - $30 per month. There are criteria that you must meet to be eligible for insulin pump consumables through NDSS. An NDSS online registration form also needs to be completed and signed by your Endocrinologist or Credentialed Diabetes Educator before being sent to Diabetes Australia. Your healthcare team should advise you of the appropriate infusion set and reservoir for your pump, so that you can order insulin pump consumables through your state Diabetes Australia office.
Bridging the gap If you’re in the interim ‘waiting period’ for private health cover benefits and would like to commence insulin pump therapy now, you may be eligible for Medtronic’s Bridging the Gap loan pump program. To be eligible, you must: • Have private health insurance policy covering insulin pumps • Be diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes • Meet the National Diabetes Support Scheme (NDSS) criteria for insulin pump consumables (ndss.com.au) • Be under the supervision of a health care professional for pump therapy, eg. Endocrinologist or Paediatrician • Agree to upgrade to a Medtronic insulin pump, once the waiting period has been served
For further information on this program consult your diabetes educator or contact Medtronic.
