Welcome
Welcome to SmartGuard Auto Mode
In this GETTING STARTED WITH MINIMED™ 670G SYSTEM WITH SMARTGUARD™ AUTO MODE guide, you will
learn about SmartGuard technology that automatically adjusts your basal insulin delivery based on your
sensor glucose (SG) values. To use this technology, your pump will need to be in SmartGuard Auto Mode.
In this section, you will learn about Auto Mode and how it works.
For complete information about Auto Mode and the MiniMed670G system, see the MiniMed™670G
System User Guide.
Note: Any time your pump is not in Auto Mode, it is referred to as Manual Mode. Manual
Mode is not a mode that you turn on or o in a menu, but is simply the mode the pump is in
when it is not in Auto Mode.
In Auto Mode:
• Basal insulin is delivered based on your SG values and recent insulin delivery needs. This basal
insulin delivery is referred to as Auto Basal.
• Auto Mode uses a target of 6.7 mmol/L.
• You can temporarily change the target to 8.3 mmol/L for exercise, or other times you would like
the target raised.
• You are still required to enter carbs when you eat, and BGs to calibrate the sensor.
• When you enter a BG over 8.3 mmol/L, Auto Mode may recommend a correction bolus,
depending on its calculations for your insulin needs.
• You will receive a BG required notication or alert if your pump needs a BG to enter or stay in
Auto Mode.
Note: There are times in Auto Mode when basal insulin is being delivered according to your
recent insulin needs, but is not being adjusted based on an SG reading. This is called Safe
Basal. You will learn about Safe Basal after you learn about Auto Mode basics.

Getting started I Reviews and reminders
Section 1: Reviews and reminders before starting
SmartGuard Auto Mode
It is important that you read and follow these general reminders before you begin.
BG testing
The BG readings you enter into your pump may be used to:
• Calibrate your sensor
• Enter Auto Mode
• Remain in Auto Mode when notied by your pump
• Recommend a correction bolus when a BG of 8.3 mmol/L or higher is entered
If you believe any BG reading result is inaccurate, wash your hands and re-check your BG. When the pump
prompts you to enter a new BG, it is important to perform a ngerstick, and enter a new BG.
Calibrating
After the rst day of sensor use, the minimum number of calibrations required is one every 12 hours.
You may receive an additional Calibrate now alert if the system detects that a calibration is required for
accuracy of SG readings. Calibrating 4 times a day is optimal. It is best to calibrate when your glucose is
not changing very rapidly. Calibrating when there are , or , arrows may decrease sensor
accuracy. Many nd that a good time to calibrate is before meals. Review the calibration guidelines in
the Calibration section of GETTING STARTED WITH MINIMED™ 670G SYSTEM WITH CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE
MONITORING for more information.
Carb entry
While you are in Auto Mode, it is important that you enter your carbs and conrm insulin delivery for you
to receive your food boluses.

Getting started I Using SmartGuard Auto Mode for the first time
Section 2: Using SmartGuard Auto Mode for the rst time
There are several steps that you need to complete before using SmartGuard Auto Mode for the rst time.
Some steps take longer than others to process, and some need to be completed before others. Below are
the instructions for how to put your pump into Auto Mode for the rst time.
IMPORTANT: Work with your healthcare professional to determine when you should turn the
Auto Mode feature on, and to determine your individual settings.
To get your pump ready for Auto Mode
Note: When the Auto Mode setting is turned On, other steps must be completed for
it to activate, or start working. If you are using SmartGuard Suspend before low or
SmartGuard Suspend on low, they are automatically turned o when Auto Mode
becomes active.
1) Use your pump to deliver your insulin for at least 48 hours. This is called the Auto Mode
warm up. The warm up helps the pump learn your personalized insulin needs for Auto
Mode. Auto Mode warm up begins the rst midnight after your pump starts delivering
insulin, and takes 48 hours to complete. Your pump does not require the Auto Mode setting
to be turned on for the Auto Mode warm up to occur. We will turn Auto Mode on later.
For example, if your pump starts delivering insulin at 15:00 on Day 1, the warm up starts at
00:00 (24:00) on Day 2, and completes at 00:00 (24:00) on Day 4. Some alarms or alerts that
occur during warm up, including a Suspend before low alert or a Suspend on low alarm, will
turn o Auto Mode.

2) Turn on the Sensor option and start a sensor, if you are not currently using one. For Auto
Mode to work, you must have a working glucose sensor.
To review instructions on sensor use and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), see
GETTING STARTED WITH MINIMED™ 670G SYSTEM WITH CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING.
Check with your healthcare professional if you have not received training on using your
sensor.
If your Bolus Wizard feature is already set up with settings from your healthcare professional, skip
to step4.
Next, you will enter your Carb Ratio and Active Insulin Time in the Bolus Estimate Setup
screen. These settings can be entered as individual Bolus Estimate settings, or as part of the
Bolus Wizard setup. If you choose to enter the settings within the Bolus Wizard feature, all
of the Bolus Wizard settings must be completed: Carb Ratio, Insulin Sensitivity Factor, BG
Target, and Active Insulin Time.
Note: If you have entered practice settings into your Bolus Wizard feature, be sure to
check with your healthcare professional and enter your personalized settings. If you
have practice settings in your Bolus Wizard feature, and will not use the Bolus Wizard
feature in Manual Mode, make sure your Carb Ratio and Active Insulin Time are your
personalized settings, and turn Bolus Wizard feature o.
3) Enter your Carb Ratio and Active Insulin Time using one of the following methods:

4) Check the Home screen for the following:
• An active temp basal
• A current bolus delivery, including a Square Wave bolus or Dual Wave bolus
• Delivery suspended
SmartGuard Auto Mode cannot activate, or start working, during any of these conditions.
If any of these conditions exist, you must wait until it is completed, or cancel it, before Auto
Mode will work.
5) Read the following warning. Then follow the steps to turn the Auto Mode setting on.
WARNING: Do not put your pump into Auto Mode if you have used the pump
in the last 3 days to practice button pressing, or if basal insulin that was
programmed into your pump was not your actual basal delivery. Doing so
may result in the delivery of too little or too much insulin, which can cause
hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Auto Mode uses the recent delivery history
on your pump to determine the Auto Basal delivery amount you receive.
a) Press .
b) Select Options.
c) Select SmartGuard.
d) Select Auto Mode.

about this alert in “Information about Safe Basal” on page 21.
Note: If SmartGuard Auto Mode is not yet ready, after
selecting Save, you will receive an alert instructing you
to check the Auto Mode Readiness screen.
6) The last step is to enter a BG. You can enter the BG either manually in the Enter BG menu, or
using the compatible Ascensia BG meter.
If you have entered a BG within the past 12 minutes, your pump may be in Auto Mode. Your
pump will indicate when it is time to enter a BG. Look at your pump screen, and follow the
instructions.
Note: If you are using a new sensor and it is still warming up, or if the rst calibration
for a new sensor was just entered, the pump will not be ready for you to enter a BG.
Note: If you enter a BG over 8.3 mmol/L, your pump may recommend a correction
bolus as it enters Auto Mode, see “Using your pump in Auto Mode” on page 12.
