4 Introduction
User safety
This section describes all user safety information that you need to know regarding the use of your
MySentry system.
Indications
The MySentry system is indicated for the remote monitoring, within your home, of a single Medtronic
MiniMed Paradigm 523/723 sensor-enabled insulin pump.
The real-time glucose values provided by the Monitor, as received from the Paradigm 523/723 insulin
pump, are not intended to be used directly for making therapy adjustments. Rather, they provide an
indication that may require a confirmation fingerstick measurement. All therapy adjustments should
be based on measurements obtained using a home glucose monitor and not based on the value
displayed by the Monitor or Paradigm 523/723 insulin pump.
Contraindications
None known.
Warnings
MySentry is intended to act as a personal sentry for your loved ones, but it is not a substitute for
personal visual monitoring. Although MySentry has been designed and tested to meet or exceed the
latest industry standards as required by EN, FDA and Underwriters Laboratories, MySentry can be
susceptible to RF or electrical interference. Transmission of all data or alarms cannot be guaranteed
with MySentry. This product does not provide any medical advice and should not be relied upon for
such purpose.
Power supply
•MySentry notifies you if its power source (household current) fails. If this occurs, check pump data
directly from the insulin pump.
•Using an unqualified power supply may affect the operation of MySentry. Use only the Medtronic
MiniMed power supply, part number MMT-9103.

MySentry Monitor
Basics 9
Basics 2
The MySentry system
MySentry is an integrated system consisting of a monitor, a radio-frequency-operated repeater, and a
power supply. The Monitor provides remote viewing of Paradigm 523/723insulin infusion pump status,
glucose data, trends and alarms. The Outpost repeater relays the insulin pump data to the Monitor.
The power supply connects the Monitor to a standard electrical wall socket.
The Monitor
The Monitor (MMT-9100) receives data directly
from the Paradigm 523/723 sensor-enabled
pump (if within range), or remotely through the
Outpost. The Monitor powers on when you plug
the power supply into both the Monitor and a
wall socket. It does not use batteries, and has
no On or Off button. After the Monitor is
properly linked to an insulin pump, it does not
display data from other MySentry systems or
insulin pumps, even if they are in the vicinity.
The Monitor can, with minimum user
interaction, receive data transmitted by the
insulin pump, including glucose sensor values,
historical graphs, pump status, alarms,
remaining insulin in the reservoir, and the
amount of time remaining until a glucose sensor
calibration is required.

10 Basics
CAUTION: Never use sharp objects to press the buttons on your MySentry device as this can
damage the buttons or compromise the seal of the device. Some examples of sharp objects that
may damage the keypad are fingernail files, pens or pencils, paper clips, knives, scissors, and
keys.
The Outpost
The Outpost (MMT-9102) receives data produced by the Paradigm 523/723
sensor-enabled insulin pump and transmits this data to the Monitor. It plugs
into a regular wall socket and communicates with the pump and Monitor
while maintaining data integrity. The required distance between the
Outpost and the pump is six feet (1.8 meters) or less. The distance between
the Outpost and the Monitor can be up to 100 feet (30.5 meters).
The power supply
The 5V DC power supply (MMT-9103) plugs into
the back of the Monitor and a regular wall socket
and provides electrical power to the Monitor.

Frequently asked questions 45
Frequently asked questions 7
This chapter answers and provides further information for the most frequently asked questions about
the MySentry system.
How do I turn the monitor on/off?
Turn the Monitor on/off by plugging it into, and out of, the power supply. There is no power switch.
How many pumps does MySentry monitor?
MySentry is designed to monitor a single pump.
How often does the pump send a transmission?
The pump sends a transmission every minute.
What is the RF frequency that the MySentry transmitter uses?
The MySentry operates at ultra high frequency, similar to a mobile phone.
What situations will cause RF interference?
Most cellular (mobile) phones and 900 MHz cordless phones, when transmitting or receiving, may cause
significant interruption of transmitter-receiver communication. It is likely that other devices
operating in similar frequency ranges will have a similar effect. This interference, however, does not
cause any incorrect data to be sent and will not cause any harm to your transmitter.
The pump includes a programmable WEAK SIGNAL alert that notifies you when one or more expected
transmissions were not received as expected by the pump. (The pump will also issue a LOST SENSOR
alert if communication is interrupted for an extended period of time.)
![](/img.php?id=1171416&img=bg34.png)
MySentry Monitor
46 Frequently asked questions
How do I resolve RF interference issues?
When you experience an RF communication issue, the MySentry Monitor identifies which device is
having the problem by issuing an alarm. Communication problems can usually be resolved by:
•ensuring that there is less than six feet (1.8 meters) between the pump and Monitor, or the pump and
Outpost;
•turning off or moving away from other RF transmitting devices;
•reorienting or relocating the transmitter or receiving device, or both.
Communication problems may also occur due to cellular telephone interference. Testing conducted
with several different cellular telephones indicates that, while a glucose value is being transmitted,
using a cell phone within 12 inches (31 cm) of receiving devices, transmitters, or RF glucose meters
can interfere with the reception of transmitted values. In the event of such interference, normal
communication can be re-established by:
•turning the cell phone off;
•keeping the cell phone at least 12 inches (31 cm) away from the receiving device, transmitter or glucose
meter when a glucose measurement is being transmitted.
What is the recommended distance to keep the pump/transmitter away from other RF devices?
There is no need to separate the pump from other RF devices unless you are receiving interference. If
you are receiving interference, reposition the devices until the interference stops.
How often do I need to re-link the pump to MySentry?
Unless you are experiencing RF interference that you cannot resolve, or there has been a system
failure that has cleared the settings on the pump, you only need to link the pump to MySentry once.
After initial linking, even if the power supply is unplugged, MySentry will automatically resynchronize
upon power-up.
If you do need to re-link, it may take up to seven minutes.

•Paradigm 523/723 insulin pump:
•MySentry Monitor:
•Outpost:
If I lose RF communication, what do I need to do to recover communication?
If you lose RF communication, do the following:
•Reorient or relocate the MySentry devices.
•Decrease the distance between the MySentry Monitor and MySentry Outpost to 100 feet or less.
•Decrease the distance between the MySentry Outpost and Paradigm 523/723 insulin pump to six feet
or less.
What if MySentry experiences a power failure?
If a power failure occurs, the Monitor alarms for 15 seconds before turning itself off.
Why are the buttons on the MySentry Monitor sometimes lighted and sometimes not lighted?
To help you with navigate the system, only the active buttons are illuminated.
What do the bars on the Outpost indicate?
The bars are for cosmetic purposes only. The Outpost stays illuminated when there is a connection
between it and the pump.

MySentry Monitor
48 Frequently asked questions
My Outpost is flashing very quickly. Does this indicate a problem?
Yes. This indicates that the Outpost needs to be reset. To reset the Outpost, unplug it from the power
outlet and then plug it back in.
If unplugged, how long does it take for the pump and monitor to reconnect?
It might take up to seven minutes.
How long will it take for the pump and monitor to link during setup?
It typically takes between five and 30 seconds for the pump to link to the Monitor.
