Data view directly on your connected pump or smart device.
Dauer und Lagerung
6 Days
Sensors last 6 days, with a 24-hour grace period, and need about 2 hours to warm up. They work between 41°F – 104°F and should be stored between 36°F – 86°F. They are usually shipped in 1–3 month supplies, which is about 5–15 sensors at a time.

YES text to speech
YES vibration alerts
Multiple sound sources
Moderate dexterity needed
Überlegungen zum Patienten
Komfort
Low profile. No overtape needed and one-hand insertion.
Aktiver Lebensstil
Compact and integrated. Reducing bulk; compatibility with daily activities depends on the adhesive and body movement. Water-resistant up to 8 feet (2.4 m) for 30 minutes.
Vermeiden von Hochs und Tiefs
SmartGuard closed-loop. Pump adjustments use sensor data continuously to reduce highs and lows.
Einfach zu benutzen
All-in-one. Eliminates the need for a separate transmitter, simplifying sensor changes (although more frequent due to the 6-day wear).
Einfache Insulindosierung
SmartGuard technology. When paired with the MiniMed 780G, it automatically adjusts basal and gives correction boluses based on sensor readings. In manual mode, glucose values can guide dosing decisions, but fingersticks are required for confirmation.
Weniger Fingersticks
Calibration is optional. Perfect if you like having that choice.
Datenschutz
Small and integrated, but visible on the back of the arm. No separate transmitter reduces the number of visible parts. Alerts and alarms can be adjusted for discretion.
