Convention What it means
Note
Note: A note provides helpful information.
Caution
Caution: A caution notifies you of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to the equipment.
WARNING
WARNING: A warning notifies you of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. It may also describe potential serious adverse reactions and safety hazards.
Emergency kit
Keep an emergency kit with you at all times to make sure that you always have necessary supplies. Tell a family member, co-worker, or friend where you keep your emergency kit.
It is important that you test your blood glucose (BG) more frequently while you are traveling. The routine hassle of travel, including stress, changes in time zones, schedules and activity levels, meal times and types of food, can all affect your diabetes control. Be extra attentive to monitoring your BG frequently, and be prepared to respond if needed.
Your emergency kit should include these items:
Fast-acting glucose tablets.
Blood glucose monitoring supplies.
Urine or blood ketone monitoring supplies.
Extra MiniMed-compatible infusion set and MiniMed reservoir.
Extra new AA lithium or alkaline batteries, or fully charged NiMH batteries.

MP6025957-024 / A
RELEASED
Insulin syringe and fast-acting insulin (with dosage instructions from your healthcare professional).
Wallet card (packaged with your pump accessories).
Adhesive dressing.
Glucagon emergency kit.
WARNING: Do not use the Bolus Wizard™ to calculate a bolus for a period of time after giving a manual injection of insulin by syringe or pen. Manual injections are not accounted for in the active insulin amount. Therefore, the Bolus Wizard could prompt you to deliver more insulin than needed. Too much insulin may cause hypoglycemia. Consult with your healthcare professional for how long you need to wait after a manual injection of insulin before you can rely on the active insulin calculation of your Bolus Wizard.
For details on pump safety, see User safety, on page 5.
User safety
Indications
MiniMed 640G system
The MiniMed 640G system is indicated for the continuous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. In addition, the system is indicated for continuous or periodic monitoring of glucose levels in the fluid under the skin, and detecting possible low and high glucose episodes. When using a sensor and transmitter, the pump displays continuous sensor glucose values and stores this data so that it can be analyzed to track patterns and improve diabetes management. This data can be uploaded to a computer for analysis of historical glucose values.
The continuous sensor glucose values provided by the MiniMed 640G system are not intended to be used directly for making therapy adjustments. Rather, they provide an indication that a confirmation fingerstick measurement may be required. All therapy adjustments should be based on measurements obtained using a home blood glucose monitor and not based on the value displayed by the pump.

Contraindications
Pump therapy is not recommended for people who are unwilling or unable to perform a minimum of four blood glucose tests per day.
Pump therapy is not recommended for people who are unwilling or unable to maintain contact with their healthcare professional.
Pump therapy is not recommended for people whose vision or hearing does not allow recognition of pump signals and alarms.
General warnings
Pump
The pump is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
Never rely on the pump beeps or vibrations alone to navigate through the pump screens or menus because this may result in incorrect menu selection or setting.
Do not rely on preset pump alarms or reminders alone to prompt you to check your blood glucose. Set additional reminders on other devices, such as your cell phone, to avoid forgetting to check your blood glucose.
Standard Luer sets are not compatible with the MiniMed 640G insulin pump. MiniMed reservoirs and MiniMed-compatible infusion sets are specifically designed for use with the MiniMed 640G insulin pump. Do not modify your MiniMed reservoir or MiniMed-compatible infusion set.
Only use U100 insulin that has been prescribed by your healthcare professional for use with an infusion pump. Do not put any other drugs or medications inside your reservoir for use with this pump.
Make sure the infusion set is disconnected from your body before you rewind your pump or fill the infusion set tubing. Never insert the reservoir into the pump while the tubing is connected to your body. Doing so could result in an accidental infusion of insulin.
Do not insert the reservoir in the pump if you did not rewind your pump. Doing so could result in an accidental infusion of insulin.
While the infusion set is connected to your body, do not unscrew or retighten the tubing connector on the reservoir.

MP6025957-024 / A
RELEASED
Do not use the MiniLink™ transmitter (MMT-7703) with the MiniMed 640G insulin pump as this device does not communicate with this insulin pump.
Do not modify this product, as modification could result in a safety hazard.
Do not use your pump if the screen appears broken or unreadable. In some instances, impact to the pump can damage the screen while the buttons continue to function. If the screen is broken or unreadable, do not press any buttons. Remove the pump and begin using your backup insulin plan per the direction of your healthcare professional. If the pump is accidentally programmed while the screen is broken or unreadable, this could result in high or low blood glucose levels. If your screen is damaged, contact the 24 Hour HelpLine or your local representative to arrange for shipment of a replacement pump.
Exposure to magnetic fields and radiation
WARNING: Keep the pump away from magnetic fields and avoid direct contact with any magnets.
If you are going to have an X-ray, MRI, diathermy treatment, CT scan, or other type of exposure to radiation, take off your pump, sensor, transmitter, and meter before entering a room containing any equipment of this kind. The magnetic fields and radiation in the immediate vicinity of this equipment can make your devices nonfunctional or damage the part of the pump that regulates insulin delivery, possibly resulting in over delivery and severe hypoglycemia.
Do not expose your pump to a permanent magnet, such as pump cases that have a magnetic clasp. Exposure to a permanent magnet may interfere with the motor inside the pump.
Reservoir and infusion sets
Only use reservoir and infusion sets manufactured by Medtronic Diabetes. The pump has undergone extensive testing to confirm appropriate operation when used with compatible reservoirs and infusion sets manufactured or distributed by Medtronic Diabetes. We cannot guarantee appropriate operation if the pump is used with reservoirs or infusion sets offered by third parties. We are not responsible for any injury or malfunctioning of the pump that may occur in association with such use.

Only use U100 insulin that has been prescribed by your healthcare professional for use with an infusion pump. Do not put any other drugs or medications inside your reservoir for use with this pump.
For additional warnings related to the reservoir and infusion set, refer to the user guides provided with those devices.
Sensor
While there is no evidence of an Enlite™ sensor breaking in a patient’s body, if you suspect that sensor breakage has occurred, do not attempt to remove the sensor yourself. Contact your healthcare professional for assistance in removing the sensor.
For warnings related to the sensor, refer to the user guide provided with that device.
Transmitter
Keep the transmitter away from children. This product contains small parts and may pose a choking hazard.
For warnings related to the transmitter, refer to the user guide provided with that device.
Meter
For warnings related to compatible Bayer™ meters, refer to the user guide provided with that device.
General precautions
Although the pump has multiple safety alarms, it cannot notify you if the infusion set is leaking or the insulin has lost its potency. It is essential, that you test your blood glucose levels at least four times per day. If your blood glucose is out of range, check the pump and the infusion set to ensure that the necessary amount of insulin is being delivered.
Waterproof capabilities
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 3.6 meters (12 feet) for up to 24 hours.
8 Chapter 1
MP6025957-024 / A
RELEASED
If the pump is dropped, hit against a hard object, or otherwise damaged, the waterproof characteristics of the outer casing of the pump may be compromised. If your pump has been dropped or you suspect your pump is damaged, carefully inspect your pump to ensure there are no cracks before exposing your pump to water.
If you believe that water has entered your pump or you observe any other possible pump malfunction, check your blood glucose, and treat high blood glucose as necessary, using an alternative source of insulin. Contact your local representative for further assistance. Always contact your healthcare professional if you experience excessively high or low blood glucose levels or if you have any questions about your care.
Electrostatic discharge
Although your MiniMed 640G insulin pump is designed to be unaffected by typical levels of electrostatic discharge (ESD), very high levels of ESD can result in a reset of the pump's software and a pump error alarm.

Basal
Basal insulin is the "background" insulin that you need throughout the day and night to maintain your target blood glucose values when you are not eating. Your basal insulin accounts for approximately one half of your daily insulin requirements. Your pump mimics a pancreas by delivering insulin continuously over 24 hours.
Your basal insulin is delivered according to a basal pattern. Basal patterns and other basal settings are described in the following sections.
Basal rate
Your basal rate is the specific amount of basal insulin that your pump continuously delivers each hour. While some people use one basal rate all day, others require different rates at different times of the day.
Your basal rates are set in one or more basal patterns. Each basal pattern covers 24 hours. For specific information about basal patterns, see Basal patterns, on page 41.

Basal insulin settings
Your basal insulin delivery settings are described in the following table.
Setting What it is What it does for you
Basal Pattern A set of one or more
basal rates that cover a 24-hour period.
Determines the amount of insulin you receive per hour throughout the day and night. Allows you to vary your basal rate according to your needs. You can set up to eight basal patterns. For details on setting up basal patterns, see Adding a new basal pattern, on page 42. For details about starting a basal pattern, see Changing from one basal pattern to another, on page 46.
Temp Basal A basal rate that you use
in place of your scheduled basal rate for short-term situations.
Allows you to temporarily change your current basal rate for a duration of time that you specify. For details about starting a temp basal rate, see Starting a Temp Basal rate, on page 48.
Preset Temp A temporary basal rate
that you can define ahead of time.
Allows you to set and save temporary basal rates for known short-term situations, such as when you are sick or have times of increased or decreased activity. For details about setting up a preset temp basal rate, see Preset Temp basal rates, on page 49. For details about starting a preset temp basal rate, see Starting a Preset Temp basal rate, on page 51.
Max Basal Rate Maximum amount of
basal insulin that your pump can deliver per hour.
Provides a safety measure by limiting the total amount of basal insulin your pump can deliver per hour. For details about setting your Max Basal rate, see Max Basal Rate, on page 41.

Max Basal Rate limits the amount of basal insulin that can be delivered per hour, based on the maximum rate you set. You are unable to set any basal rates, temp basal rates, or preset temp basal rates that exceed the max basal rate amount. You can set your max basal rate from 0 to 35 units per hour. Set your max basal rate as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
Note: If you are setting your max basal rate after you have set up your basal patterns or preset temp basal rates, you cannot set your max basal rate lower than any of your existing basal rates. You cannot access this feature during a bolus delivery.
To set your Max Basal Rate:
1. Go to the Max Basal/Bolus screen.
Menu > Insulin Settings > Max Basal/Bolus
2. Select Max Basal to set the maximum number of basal insulin units that can
be delivered each hour.
Because the Max Basal Rate setting determines your basal insulin limits, a warning message appears any time you enter the screen to change the value. To continue setting the value, select Continue.
3. In the Max Basal Rate screen, select Max Basal to set the maximum units per
hour.
4. Select Save.
Basal patterns
Your basal pattern determines the amount of basal insulin you receive throughout the day and night. Because your basal insulin needs can vary, you can set up to eight basal patterns. For example, you might use one basal pattern during the week and a different basal pattern during the weekend.

A basal pattern is made up of one to 48 basal rates that you set up to cover a full 24-hour period. If you only need one basal rate throughout the day, you set only one rate for the 24-hour period. If you need the basal rates to change during the day or night to better match your insulin needs, you can set more than one rate, each with a separate start and end time.
The following example represents one basal pattern with three basal rates set for three different time periods.

Temporary basal rates
The Temp Basal feature and Preset Temp feature allow you to set temporary basal rates to manage blood glucose levels during short-term activities or conditions that require a basal rate different than your current one, such as an illness or a change in physical activity. You can make an immediate change to your basal insulin for a set period of time (30 minutes to 24 hours), up to your max basal rate.
About Temp Basal rates
A temp basal rate temporarily overrides all other basal programming. Your programmed basal pattern resumes after the temp basal rate delivery is completed or cancelled.
The Temp Basal feature allows you to set and start a temporary basal rate immediately. The Preset Temp feature allows you to set up a temp basal rate ahead of time for known situations. You define temp basal rates and preset temp basal rates using either a percentage of your current basal pattern, or by setting a specific rate, as described in the following table.
This temp basal type: Works like this:
Percent Delivers a percentage of the basal rates programmed
in your active basal pattern for the duration of the temp basal rate. The temp basal amount is rounded down to the next 0.025 units if your basal rate is set at less than 1 unit per hour, or to the next 0.05 units if your basal rate is set at more than 1 unit per hour.
Temp basal rates can be set to deliver from 0 to 200% of your scheduled basal rate. The percent amount you can use, however, is based on the largest basal rate scheduled during the temp basal duration, and is limited by your max basal rate.
Rate Delivers a fixed basal insulin rate in units per hour for
the duration of your temporary basal, limited by your max basal rate.
To use the Temp Basal feature, see Starting a Temp Basal rate, on page 48. To use the Preset Temp Basal feature, see Preset Temp basal rates, on page 49.

Stopping and resuming your insulin delivery
Use Suspend Delivery if you need to stop all active basal and bolus insulin deliveries. When you suspend your insulin delivery, your pump beeps and vibrates every 15 minutes to remind you that insulin is not being delivered.
When you are ready to continue your basal insulin delivery, use the Resume feature. When you use the Resume feature, your pump starts your programmed basal pattern, but does not start any previously programmed bolus deliveries.
Note: If you want to stop a bolus delivery only, without stopping your basal delivery, see Stopping a bolus delivery, on page 88.
WARNING: A bolus delivery or fill cannula that was suspended does not restart when you resume. To avoid a high BG and ketoacidosis, always check the pump's Daily History after you resume insulin delivery to determine the amount that was delivered. If needed, program a new bolus or fill cannula delivery.
Caution: When using Audio or Vibrate, it is possible that an Audio or Vibration notification may not occur as expected if the speaker or vibrator in your pump malfunctions. This is most important when using the Easy Bolus feature or when your pump is in Manual Suspend where a missed notification may cause an over or under delivery of insulin.
Contact the 24 Hour HelpLine or your local representative with any concerns.
To suspend all insulin delivery:
1. Go to the Suspend Delivery screen.
Menu > Suspend Delivery
2. A confirmation message appears. To suspend your pump and stop all insulin
delivery, select Yes.
The Home screen indicates that your insulin is suspended. Your pump functions are limited until you resume your insulin delivery.

Bolus
A bolus is the amount of insulin taken to cover an expected rise in blood glucose, typically when you eat a meal or snack. You can also use a bolus to correct a high blood glucose reading.
About bolus deliveries
There are different types of bolus deliveries you can use, depending on your insulin needs at the time. There are also different ways you can deliver a bolus. Discuss these options with your healthcare professional to determine what is best for you.
Bolus types
The following table provides general information about the available bolus types.
Type How it works When to use it
Normal Provides a single
immediate dose of insulin.
This is the typical bolus type you use to cover your food intake, or to correct a high BG meter reading.
For details about using the Normal bolus feature, see Normal bolus, on page 73.
Bolus 59

Type How it works When to use it
Square
Wave
Delivers a single bolus evenly over an extended period of time (30 minutes to 8 hours).
You might use a Square Wave bolus:
• If you have delayed food digestion due to gastroparesis or meals high in fat.
• When snacking over an extended period of time.
• If a Normal bolus drops your blood glucose too rapidly.
For details about using the Square Wave bolus feature, see Square Wave bolus, on page 76.
Dual
Wave
Delivers a combination of an immediate Normal bolus followed by a Square Wave bolus.
You might use a Dual Wave bolus:
• When you eat meals that are both high in carbs and fat which may delay digestion.
• When your meal bolus is combined with a correction bolus for an elevated blood glucose.
For details about using a Dual Wave bolus, see Dual Wave bolus, on page 79.

Bolus Wizard
The Bolus Wizard is a feature that uses your individual Bolus Wizard settings to calculate an estimated bolus amount based on the BG values and carbs that you enter. Work with your healthcare professional to define your personal settings, which include your carb or exchange ratio, insulin sensitivity, BG target range, and active insulin time.
Note: If you do not know how to count carbs, consult with your healthcare professional before using the Bolus Wizard.
After you set up the Bolus Wizard, you can use it to calculate and deliver a food bolus, a correction bolus, or a food plus correction bolus using a Normal bolus (see page 74), Square Wave bolus (see page 77), or Dual Wave bolus (see page 80).
Always remember these two things when you are using the Bolus Wizard:
Never give a bolus that was calculated more than 12 minutes ago. That bolus
amount was based on a BG value that is no longer current. Instead, take a new BG meter test and have the Bolus Wizard re-calculate the necessary bolus amount.
When using the Bolus Wizard, promptly respond to any message displayed on
the pump screen. Your prompt response is needed to complete the task.
The following sections describe how to set up the Bolus Wizard. Bolus delivery instructions are provided in the individual sections for each bolus type.
Understanding your Bolus Wizard settings
Your pump guides you through entering the following settings when you first turn on the Bolus Wizard feature. Get your prescribed settings from your healthcare professional, and always consult your healthcare professional before changing your settings. The setup procedure begins on page 66.

Setting What it does
Carb Ratio Exchange Ratio
Used for food bolus calculations.
If you count carbs: the number of carb grams that are covered by 1 unit of insulin.
If you count exchanges: the number of insulin units that are needed to cover 1 carb exchange.
Insulin Sensitivity Factor
Used to calculate correction bolus amounts.
Your insulin sensitivity factor is the amount that blood glucose is reduced by one unit of insulin.
BG Target The Bolus Wizard calculates your estimated bolus based
on your BG target range. The high and low values you set are the values to which your blood glucose is corrected. To use a single target value rather than a range, set the same value for High and Low.
If your BG value is above the high target value, a correction dose is calculated. If your BG value is below the low target value, a negative correction is calculated and subtracted from your food bolus.
Active Insulin Time Active insulin is the bolus insulin that has been delivered
by the pump and is still working to lower your blood glucose levels. Active insulin time is the length of time that bolus insulin is tracked as active insulin.
Work with your healthcare professional to get the active insulin time that best represents the insulin type you use and your physiological insulin absorption rate.
For more information about how the Bolus Wizard uses your active insulin amount, see About active insulin, on page 72.

About active insulin
Active insulin is the bolus insulin that has already been delivered to your body, and is still working to lower your blood glucose levels. The pump considers your active insulin time setting in determining if any active insulin is still in your body from prior boluses. This may help prevent hypoglycemia caused by over-correcting for high blood glucose.
Your current active insulin amount displays on the Home screen, and includes only the bolus insulin you have already received.
When you are using the Bolus Wizard, the Bolus Wizard calculator uses your current active insulin value to determine if there is an active insulin adjustment needed. The active insulin adjustment calculation considers both the bolus insulin that has already been delivered (the amount shown on the Home screen), as well as any insulin that is going to be delivered by an active Square Wave bolus.
WARNING: Do not use the Bolus Wizard to calculate a bolus for a period of time after giving a manual injection of insulin by syringe or pen. Manual injections are not accounted for in the active insulin amount. Therefore, the Bolus Wizard could prompt you to deliver more insulin than needed. Too much insulin may cause hypoglycemia. Consult with your healthcare professional for how long you need to wait after a manual injection of insulin before you can rely on the active insulin calculation of your Bolus Wizard.
Bolus Wizard warnings
When you use the Bolus Wizard, there may be times when you see one of the following:
Warning: What it means: What to do:
High BG Your BG meter reading is above
13.9 mmol/L.
• Check for an occlusion.
• Check ketones.
• Consider an insulin injection.
• Monitor your BG.
72 Chapter 4
MP6025957-024 / A
RELEASED
Warning: What it means: What to do:
Low BG Your BG meter reading is below
3.9 mmol/L.
Treat your low BG. Do not give yourself a bolus until your BG returns to normal.
Max Bolus Exceeded
The bolus amount entered exceeds your Max Bolus setting.
Check the bolus amount. Select No to cancel, or Yes to continue. If you select Yes, the bolus amount that you entered is reduced to your max bolus limit.
Let your healthcare professional know if you routinely receive the Max Bolus exceeded warning so that they can adjust your pump settings.
Note: In the event that you do not clear the High BG, Low BG, or Max Bolus exceeded warning, the warning will remain on your pump indefinitely. If you clear the message after more than 12 minutes have passed, do not deliver the bolus amount shown. That bolus amount was based on a BG value that is no longer current. Instead, return to the Home screen and check your BG again with your meter. Enter the new value into the Bolus Wizard and give a bolus if needed.
Normal bolus
A Normal bolus provides a single immediate dose of insulin. You use a Normal bolus to cover your food intake or to correct a high BG meter reading.
You cannot access the Reservoir & Tubing, Insulin Settings, or Sensor Settings menu options during a Normal bolus delivery.
Note: Your pump allows you to deliver a Normal bolus while a Square Wave bolus or the Square portion of a Dual Wave bolus is being delivered.

Easy Bolus
The Easy Bolus feature allows you to quickly deliver a Normal bolus using only the
button. Your pump must be in sleep mode to use the Easy Bolus feature.
Before using Easy Bolus, you must turn on the feature and set the step size. The step size determines the number of units the bolus amount increases each time you press the
button. Your Easy Bolus delivery is limited to 20 steps or your max
bolus limit, whichever comes first.
To help you count your Easy Bolus steps, each time you press the button, your pump makes a different tone. There are five different tones that repeat if you use more than five steps.
Understanding Easy Bolus step sizes
When setting up Easy Bolus, you can set the step size from 0.1 to 2.0 units. Your step size cannot be higher than your max bolus. Set the step size to a number that is convenient to use and easy to multiply.
The following example shows how your bolus amount is increased with each step, or each press of the
button when using the Easy Bolus feature to deliver a bolus. In this example, the step size is 0.5 units. For a delivery of 2.0 units, you would need four steps, or press the button four times when using the Easy Bolus feature.
