Guardian Sensor 3 Overview

Medtronic Guardian Sensor 3 is part of continuous glucose monitoring including systems MiniMed 630G, MiniMed 670G, and Guardian Connect insulin pumps. Individuals managing diabetes enjoy the freedom of using an insulin pump with CGM systems to regulate blood sugar. This device plays a key role and is directly implanted into the body to collect data that is transferred wirelessly through the Guardian Link Transmitter to the CGM. The sensor gathers the information that is collected by the transmitter to be sent to the CGM. This network detects trends and ensures blood sugars are more stable.

The Guardian Sensor 3 is packaged with five sensors in a box. Use the inserter that comes with the CGM to load and implant the sensor. The abdomen and back of the arms are the most commonly used region on the body for insertion. Make sure to avoid sites where clothing may be constricting or where there is a lot of motion. Over time, tissue damage can occur from use and therefore the Sensor must be moved to a different location. Pair with Skin Tac Adhesive Wipes for additional adhesive to secure the Sensor 3. Once in place, connect the charged transmitter, which will give a green light when it's properly connected. The Sensor 3 has a lifespan of seven days. Keep cell phones and GPS devices with wireless connections away from the transmitter to prevent signal interference.

Real-Time Readings

The sensor can provide real-time glucose readings on compatible devices (630G, 670G, Guardian Connect Insulin Pump Systems).

Biometric Insights

This product provides insights into how food, physical activity, medicaiton, and illness impact the patient's diabetes.

Early Notification

Guardian 3 Sensor is designed to provide early notification of oncoming lows and highs throughout the day and night.

Features and Benefits

• Plays Key Role in Balancing Glucose
• Data From Sensor Is Transmitted Wirelessly
• Implants into Body for Up to a Week
• Transmitter Reads Sensor Every 5 Minutes

How It Works

Guardian Sensor 3 is part of the Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system. This sensor continuously converts tiny amounts of glucose from the interstitial fluid under the skin into an electronic signal. The system then uses these signals to provide sensor glucose values for diabetic patient biometric readings.

Indications for Use

The Guardian Sensor 3 is intended for use with the Medtronic MiniMed 630G, MiniMed 670G, and Guardian Connect systems. It continuously monitors glucose levels in persons with diabetes. It is intended to be used for detecting trends and tracking patterns in persons aged fourteen years and older. It is also intended to be used by the MiniMed 670G system to automatically adjust basal insulin levels. It is indicated for use as an adjunctive device to complement, not replace, information obtained from standard blood glucose monitoring devices. The sensor is intended for single use and requires a prescription. The Guardian Sensor 3 is indicated for 7 days of continuous use.
