CHAPTER 1
This manual is a reference guide for both you and your support network
of family and friends. It is important that other people in your support net-
work know how to use the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insu-
lin Pump System, so they can be of assistance if the need arises.
Throughout the manual you will see note comments which provide
important information about the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C System. If
you have a question not covered in the manual, please talk with your doc-
tor. Your doctor knows the most about your medical condition and can
give you the best answers to your questions about your diabetes treat-
ment.
NOTE: Before you can use the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C
System, you will be trained. This training will
teach you about implantable insulin pump ther-
apy, and how to operate the Medtronic MiniMed
2007CSystem.Thismanualcanbeusedtohelp,
but not replace, your training.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
Medtronic MiniMed provides a 24-hour help line for assistance. Clinical
Services personnel are trained to answer questions you may have about
the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C System.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System is an
"open-loop" system, which means you must test your blood glucose in
accordance with the method and frequency recommended by your physi-
cian. Based on the results of your blood glucose testing, you can program
the Pump with desired reates of delivery by using the Personal Pump
Communicator (PPC).
The system consists of four components:
•Implantable Insulin Pump
•Side Port Catheter
•Personal Pump Communicator (PPC)
•Special Insulin

The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
The Implantable Insulin Pump (Pump) is a round disc, 8.1 cm (3.2 inches)
in diameter and 2.0 cm (0.8 inches) thick. The Pump weighs 131 grams
(4.6 ounces) when empty. The outside case of the Pump is made of tita-
nium. Titanium is a biocompatible metal used in many types of implant-
able medical devices. The Pump contains an insulin fill port, located at
the center of the disc. The fill port is used for rinsing and filling the Pump
with insulin, and for diagnostic procedures.
Figure 1: The Implantable Insulin Pump
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
The Pump has six major components: the medication reservoir, the pump-
ing mechanism, the antenna, the microelectronics, the battery, and the
tone transducer. The following figure shows the interior of the Pump
.
Figure 2: Interior of the Implantable Insulin Pump
The medication reservoir holds the insulin and is refilled with a special
syringe through the Pump fill port.
The pumping mechanism takes insulin from the medication reservoir and
delivers it through a catheter into your body. The pumping mechanism
delivers the same amount of insulin every time it pumps. The amount of
insulin delivered in each “stroke”of the pump mechanism is called the
stroke volume.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
The pump antenna receives the radio signals from the PPC and delivers
the PPC’s programmed message to the microelectronics of the Pump.
The microelectronics are designed to control the pumping mechanism so
that you receive the amount of insulin you have programmed the Pump to
deliver. You tell the microelectronics what to do by using your PPC. The
microelectronics also store pump specifications and programming history
information in its memory.
The battery supplies power to the pumping mechanism and microelec-
tronics. It is a lithium carbon mono-fluoride battery specially designed for
the Implantable Insulin Pump.
The tone transducer is a Pump safety feature. It emits audible beeps to
confirm your Pump is operating properly. It also alerts you when your
Pump needs attention.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
The Side Port Catheter (catheter) is a soft plastic tube, made of polyethyl-
ene-lined silicone rubber. The Catheter delivers insulin from the Pump
into your peritoneal cavity. Intraperitoneal insulin is rapidly absorbed by
your body and is used to regulate your blood sugar. Your doctor can use
the Catheter’s radio-opaque stripe to help locate it on an X-ray.
The Catheter has a subcutaneous part and an intraperitoneal part as shown
in the following figure.
Figure 3: Side Port Catheter
Intraperitoneal Part
Subcutaneous Part
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
The Personal Pump Communicator (PPC) is a hand-held device which
allows you to send commands to your Pump and receive Pump informa-
tion using RF telemetry (radio waves). The PPC is 8.9 cm (3.5 inches)
long, 7.0 cm (2.8 inches) wide and 2.0 (0.8 inches) thick and weighs 115
grams (4.06 ounces). The PPC uses one AA 1.5 volt alkaline battery as
the main power source, and a lithium back-up battery which saves the
PPC memory when the main battery is depleted or being changed. The
PPC has an easy-to-read screen. Programming information is entered
using a four button keyboard. The four buttons and their functions are
described in Chapter 4. See Figure 4.
Figure 4: Personal Pump Communicator (PPC)
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
To send a command to the Pump, place the PPC near the Pump. With your
PPC you can:
•Deliver an immediate, square wave or dual wave insulin bolus to
compensate for meals. Boluses can be programmed by reading
the screen or listening to beeps (audio bolus)
•Deliver one or many basal rates in a daily pattern
•Preprogram three different daily basal patterns
•Deliver a temporary basal rate
•Suspend the Pump
•Record Personal Events
•Program an Automatic Off
Your PPC also stores important information in its memory (120 days of
data). This information includes:
•Current time and date
•Time, date and amount of the last meal bolus
•Current basal rate
•Daily insulin totals (basal and bolus)
•Clinical history
•Insulin amount remaining in the Pump
•Maximum bolus allowed
•Maximum basal rate allowed
•Insulin concentration used
NOTE: The PPC issued to you by your doctor can be used
only with your Implantable Insulin Pump. Do not
attempt to use any other PPC to program your
Pump,unlessspecificallyinstructedtodosoby
your doctor.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System uses a
special insulin, purified and concentrated exclusively for implantable
pump use. The insulin is HOE 21 PH U-400, manufactured by Aventis.
Only Aventis HOE 21 PH U-400 may be used in the Medtronic MiniMed
2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System
CHAPTER 2
Your Pump will respond only to telemetry commands from your PPC.
Your Pump will not change when exposed to electromagnetic fields, such
as microwave ovens, garage door openers, airport security systems, and
television or video remote controls.
The most important safety feature of your Pump is its self-checking cir-
cuitry. If your Pump is not working properly, it will signal you with an
alarm message on the PPC screen and then automatically turn itself off.
This feature ensures that your Pump will always deliver insulin in a con-
trolled, predictable manner.
The Pump reservoir has a negative pressure (vacuum) which will draw in
fluids. In the event of a Pump malfunction, this vacuum assures your insu-
lin will stay in the reservoir. Don’t worry, there are multiple safety fea-
tures to assure that your body fluids won’t enter the Pump. Only the
pumping mechanism can overcome this negative pressure and deliver
insulin to your body.
Safety Features
In order to send a command to your Pump, your PPC must be properly
positioned nearby and a series of programming steps must be followed.
Your doctor will program maximum dose limits into your PPC. The pro-
grammed maximum basal rate and bolus amount will protect you from an
insulin overdose, in the event of a programming mistake.
Your PPC prompts you with many easy-to-read messages on its screen.
Also, the PPC emits beeps to notify you of certain conditions, such as bat-
tery status, programming errors, and a low or empty pump reservoir.
These messages and alarms are discussed further in Chapter 5, entitled,
“Alarms and Messages.”
CHAPTER 3
You will be admitted to the hospital to have your Medtronic MiniMed
2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System surgically implanted and stabi-
lized in your tissue. Your Pump System will also be programmed and
tested prior to your leaving the hospital.
Your hospitalization will consist of three types of procedures:
•Pre-Operative Procedures
•Implantation Procedures
•Post-Operative Procedures
You will have blood drawn, be given diagnostic procedures, and possibly
other tests before your scheduled surgery date. You should ask your doc-
tor what tests will be required before your Pump is implanted. You may
also meet with an Anesthesiologist or Surgeon prior to the surgery.
The Pump will be implanted in your abdominal area. Your doctor will dis-
cuss the exact location of implantation with you. The choice of a Pump
site may depend upon the catheter location, how your body is shaped, and
whether or not you have had any previous abdominal surgery, such as an
appendectomy.
Implanting the MiniMed 2007C Pump System
The Pump may be implanted using either local or general anesthesia. This
decision will be made by you, your doctor, the Surgeon, and the Anesthe-
siologist. If local anesthesia is chosen, you will be awake during the
implantation but the pump site will be numbed. Under general anesthesia,
you will be kept asleep during the procedure by the anesthesiologist.
The Surgeon will make an incision through your skin and create a
“pocket”in which to place the Pump. The Pump is then inserted under the
fatty tissue just beneath your skin. The Surgeon will then secure the Pump
in your tissue to prevent movement. A very small opening will be made in
your abdominal muscle wall through which the Surgeon will thread the
Side Port Catheter into your peritoneal cavity. After the Catheter is posi-
tioned and the Pump is secured, the Surgeon will use sutures to close the
incision in your skin. Bandages are used to protect the incision until it
heals. Some Surgeons may want you to wear a binder over the implant
site for a short time to minimize post-operative swelling.
The length of your hospital stay will be determined by your doctor. Your
stay will depend upon how quickly you heal, and how quickly you learn
to use the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System.
Before your admission to the hospital, your doctor or a nurse will teach
you how to use your PPC to program the Pump. Before leaving the hospi-
tal, you must become proficient in understanding and using your PPC to
program the Pump. You should:
•Fully understand how to use your PPC.
•Demonstrate appropriate responses to warning messages and
alarms from your PPC.
•Be able to identify signs and symptoms your doctor wants you to
report.
•Have completed a Patient Emergency Information Card, which
indicates you have an implantable pump and provides emergency
phone numbers.
Implanting the MiniMed 2007C Pump System
•Ask your doctor to complete and return your Device Registration
Card to MiniMed. This card contains the Pump and Catheter
serial numbers, which are needed for device tracking by
MiniMed.
•Schedule an appointment with your doctor for your first follow-
up visit.
•Read Chapter 5, “Alarms and Messages,” and ask your doctor to
explain anything you don’t understand.
Before you leave the hospital, your doctor will schedule an appointment
for your first follow-up office visit. Your healthcare team will also keep in
close contact with you during the first few weeks following implantation.
Frequent adjustments in your insulin delivery are often required for sev-
eral weeks following implantation.
NOTE: ALWAYS keep your PPC with you. During office
visits, a member of the healthcare team will check
the status of your Pump. Only YOUR PPC can be
used to check YOUR Pump.
Your post-implant recovery will be similar to recovery from other surgical
procedures. You will need to obtain adequate rest, eat a nutritious diet,
and avoid individuals who are suffering from infections or viruses.
Recovery times vary among individuals, but most people recover fully in
a few weeks. Your physician will ask you to call if you are not feeling
well, particularly if you have an elevated temperature or if you notice any
redness or drainage around your incision site.
Implanting the MiniMed 2007C Pump System
Aventis, located in Frankfurt, Germany, is the manufacturer of the insulin
used in your Implantable Insulin Pump. This insulin, HOE 21 PH U-400,
is specifically designed for implanted pumps. No other insulin should be
put in your Pump.
It is important that the time between your Pump refills should not exceed
90 days. Refilling your Pump is a sterile procedure. Your doctor or a nurse
will first disinfect your skin directly over the Pump. All equipment that
will touch your skin during the refill procedure is sterile to minimize the
risk of infection.
Your doctor or a nurse may now numb the disinfected skin area with a
local anesthetic. A short needle will then be inserted through your skin to
locate the fill port of the Pump. Then a longer needle will be inserted into
the Pump fill port through the inside of the shorter needle. The doctor or
nurse will then empty unused insulin from the Pump and refill it with new
Aventis, HOE 21 PH U-400 insulin.
CHAPTER 4 Programming Your
Pump
You will program your Implantable Insulin Pump with your PPC. The
PPC transmits information by RF telemetry (radio waves) to your Pump.
With your PPC you can:
•Deliver an immediate, square wave or dual wave insulin bolus to
compensate for meals. Boluses can be programmed by reading
the screen or listening to beeps (audio bolus)
•Deliver one or many basal rates in a daily pattern
•Preprogram three different daily basal rate patterns
•Deliver a temporary basal rate
•Suspend the Pump
•Program an Automatic Off
•Adjust the tone frequency of the PPC and the audible alarms of
the Pump.
NOTE: Your PPC has been designed for easy use (See
chapter 5 for a list of the PPC commands). You
must follow a specific sequence of steps and hold
the PPC near the Pump to deliver a command.
Therefore, you cannot unintentionally program
your Pump.
Programming Your Pump
Your PPC has been specifically pre-programmed for use with your Pump.
Do not use another PPC to program your Pump. You must keep your PPC
with you at all times because it is the only way to program your Pump.
Remember, you must measure your blood sugar at least four times each
day, according to the method recommended by your doctor. You must
then use the results of your blood sugar tests to determine the appropriate
dose of insulin to be delivered by your Pump.
Your PPC has an easy-to-read dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD).
The main PPC screen displays the time (12hr. or 24hr. format), month,
day, and a variety of icons. The type and purpose of these icons are as fol-
lows:
Icon Description
The bell icon is displayed when the PPC receives a RF telemetry message
from the Pump. The icon may indicate the Pump or PPC has detected a fail-
ure, or the Pump is in a “SUSPEND”mode or “STOPPED.”
The reservoir icon is composed of 4 segments that indicate how full the
Pump reservoir is, based on the history of the Pump delivery.
The PPC shows a “spinning”icon while insulin delivery is in progress.
When the Pump delivers a bolus amount, the pattern will show three deliv-
ery segments. When the Pump delivers a basal rate, the pattern will show
one delivery segment. When the Pump is not delivering, all four segments
will be displayed.
Programming Your Pump
PPC programming information is entered using four buttons:
1. When commands are programmed the
PPC will talk to the Pump. When this
occurs the following screen will dis-
played.
2. The word COMMUNICATING will blink
to indicate a communication is taking place.
Buttons Description
SEL Means SELECT. The SEL button allows you to step through and view
each of the option screens.
ACT Means ACTIVATE. The ACT button activates programming changes
you wish to make. As a safety check, you must press ACT to complete
any programming changes. You will always hear a single beep after you
have successfully activated a change.

Programming Your Pump
The Main programming screen is used to program features you will use
every day, such as a Meal Bolus or Basal Rate, or putting your Pump in
the Suspend mode.
Using the PPC, you can program the Pump to deliver a bolus of insulin
whenever you need it. The Pump System has several special features
which allow you to customize the programming and delivery of a bolus:
•Immediate Bolus (programmed by reading the PPC screen or lis-
tening to beeps, using the Audio Bolus).
•Square Wave Bolus
•Dual Wave Bolus
NOTE: To program a Square Wave or Dual Wave Bolus,
you must turn on the Variable Bolus programming

Your Basal Rate provides you with approximately 50 percent of your
daily insulin needs. A Basal Rate is normally delivered all the time,
throughout the day and night. Your PPC can tailor your Basal Rates to
meet your changing insulin needs throughout the day. If you want to, the
PPC can deliver a different Basal Rate every 30 minutes throughout the
day. For some people, one Basal Rate will work fine. Other people find
that multiple Basal Rates will help them respond better to their insulin
needs. You should discuss with your doctor the number and amount of
Basal Rates that are best for you.

CHAPTER 5 Alarms and
Messages
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System is
equipped with various alarms and messages that ensure the correct func-
tion of the system.
The Implantable Insulin Pump has an alarm system which beeps when an
error condition occurs. The beeps are audible through the skin and alert
you that the Pump needs attention. The Pump will alarm consists of 4
tones each minute for 10 minutes then, 4 double tones each minute for 10
minutes and repeat pattern. Upon hearing the alarm, you need to commu-
nicate with your PPC to determine the alarm condition and call your Phy-
sician. Use the Read Pump Data option to communicate to the pump. The
alarm can be cleared by pressing SEL and ACT.
Alarms and Messages
The PPC has three types of alarms, audible or vibrate alarms and visual
alarms. This chapter will describe, for each alarm condition, which screen
message appears.
Some alarms can be cleared by pressing SEL then ACT. The difference
between these alarms will be explained later in this chapter.
Two audible or vibrate alarm types are used:
If the PPC is set to “vibrate”, the vibrator will be turned on for 3 seconds
every minute until the condition is cleared.
If the PPC is set to “audible”, the PPC will beep 6 times every minute for
30 minutes. If the alarm is not cleared in 30 minutes, the PPC will beep 6
alternating tones. The PPC will continue to do so every minute until the
condition is cleared.
If the PPC is set to “vibrate”, the vibrator will be turned on for 3 seconds
every minute while the condition exists.
If the PPC is set to “audible”, the PPC 6 will beep 3 times every 30 min-
utes while the condition exists.
Alarms and Messages
The Alarm Feedback function allows you to verify the Pump and the
Pump beeper is operating normally. When Alarm Feedback is pro-
grammed “YES,”thePumpwillbeeponeachofthefirstfivePump
strokes:
•Following a change in the delivery regimen, for example when
completing a meal Bolus and then changing to a Basal Rate.
•After the Alarm Feedback function is programmed “YES.”Alarm
Feedback will stay on until programmed back to “NO.”
The Implantable Insulin Pump battery is designed to last approximately
seven years during conditions of normal use (see Chapter 9, Technical
Specifications). Battery life may vary somewhat depending upon your
insulin delivery requirements. When battery energy becomes low, a volt-
age sensor in the Pump will trigger the Pump Low Battery Alarm. A
Pump Low Battery Alarm indicates there is approximately eight weeks of
battery energy remaining.
You can clear this condition and your Pump will continue to operate nor-
mally. However, you should notify your doctor as soon as possible. Your
doctor will then schedule a Pump replacement, and may switch you back
to conventional insulin therapy.
PPC Display Type of
Alarm Pump Alarm

Alarms and Messages
When there is no longer sufficient battery energy to power the Pump, the
Pump Low Battery Alarm will cease. This means that insulin delivery has
stopped. You must switch to another type of insulin therapy.
The Implantable Insulin Pump has a sophisticated self-monitoring system
that continuously checks for circuit faults. If the Pump detects a circuit
error, it will beep and then automatically shut itself off. When this
occurs, you must switch to your alternative insulin therapy estab-
lished between you and your doctor. Notify your doctor immediately of
the System Error.
During a “SELF TEST,”the Pump finds a malfunction. The Pump will
stop delivering insulin. Clear the message by pressing SEL then ACT.
You must switch to your alternative insulin therapy established
between you and your doctor. Notify your doctor immediately of the
Self Test Error.

CHAPTER 6 Warnings and
Precautions
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System has
been tested with electrosurgical cutting tools, electrocoagulation, and car-
diac defibrillation medical equipment. Typical use of this type of device
has not affected the Pump. However, after such procedures, you should
test the Pump function (e.g., program “SELF TEST”) to determine that
the Pump and PPC are operating properly. If the system is not performing
correctly, contact your doctor.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System has
been tested with diagnostic ultrasound procedures. These procedures have
no effect on the Pump. However, after such procedures, you should test
the Pump function (e.g., program a “SELF TEST”) to determine that the
Pump and PPC are operating properly. If the system is not performing
correctly, contact your doctor.
Warnings and Precautions
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System should
not be exposed to therapeutic ultrasound procedures, such as lithotripsy.
Exposure to ultrasound therapy may damage the Pump System.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System has
been tested with Computerized Tomography and X-ray. These procedures
have no effect on the Pump. However, after such procedures, you should
test the Pump function (e.g., program a “SELF TEST”) to determine that
the Pump and PPC are operating properly. If the system is not performing
correctly, contact your doctor.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System has
been tested with therapeutic radiation. These procedures have no effect on
the Pump. However, it is recommended not to focus therapeutic levels of
radiation directly over the pump. After such procedures, you should test
the Pump function (e.g., program a “SELF TEST”) to determine that the
Pump and PPC are operating properly. If the system is not performing
correctly, contact your doctor.
You cannot undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging procedures with the
MiniMed 2007C Implantable Pump System.
Under-delivery or “backflow”may occur when insulin deposits collect in
the pumping mechanism inside your Pump. These deposits affect the vac-
uum seal in the pumping mechanism, and can prevent some of the insulin
from being delivered. If the pumping mechanism is unable to seal tightly,
the pump will under-deliver its insulin.
Warnings and Precautions
If your Pump is under-delivering its insulin, you may feel symptoms of
hyperglycemia. If this occurs, you should contact your doctor immedi-
ately. Your doctor will instruct you how to manage your blood glucose
levels until the Pump can be corrected.
Another under-delivery condition is caused by body fluids or body tissue
collecting at the tip of the Catheter. To correct a Catheter obstruction,
your doctor may need to flush your Catheter with a sterile solution.
If the Pump’s electronic or alarm systems malfunction, Self Test circuitry
will detect the malfunction and may stop the Pump. Notify your doctor
immediately if this occurs. If your doctor cannot correct the malfunction,
your Pump may need to be replaced and you will need to take alternative
insulin therapy.
Infection, skin erosion, unresolved backflow, or catheter occlusion may
also require that your Pump or Catheter be removed or replaced.
Have your Pump refilled before the reservoir is empty. Alarms in the PPC
will alert you to low and depleted reservoir levels. For more information
on alarms and messages, see Chapter 7. If the low reservoir alarm sounds
and you do not have a refill appointment scheduled within two weeks, call
your doctor immediately to schedule a refill.
NOTE: If you are in doubt about whether a condition or
situation will affect your Pump, contact your doc-
tor for advice.
The Implantable Insulin Pump, like all microelectronic devices, should
not be exposed to extreme electrical or magnetic fields or temperature
extremes which may adversely affect the Pump and its insulin. Do not
allow your Implantable Insulin Pump to be exposed to the following envi-
ronmental conditions:
Warnings and Precautions
•Physical damage to the Pump and the Pump pocket
•Altitudes greater than 2500 meters or 8,000 feet (skiing, hiking,
sky-diving)
•Depths greater than 4 meters or 15 feet (scuba diving, etc.)
•Elevated temperatures (hot tubs, saunas)
Avoid any sharp blows or pressure on the Pump. A direct blow may dam-
age the Pump or injure the Pump pocket. Extreme pressure on the Pump
may cause the sutures and the tissue pocket to be damaged resulting in
Pump migration and a possible dislodging of the Catheter. If you suspect
that your Pump or Pump pocket have been damaged, you should contact
your doctor immediately. You may need to wear a pressure bandage or
reduce your level of physical activity until the Pump pocket heals com-
pletely.
You may not reside at or travel to an elevation in excess of 8,000 feet, or
dive below 15 feet. High altitudes and depths will change the Pump’s
insulin flow. This warning does not apply to commercial airline travel.
Airline cabins are adequately pressurized at any altitude for Pump use. It
is still possible to ski, dive or sky-dive with the proper precautions. Con-
sult with your doctor.
Exposure to elevated temperatures in excess of 104°F (i.e. hot tubs, sau-
nas), for longer than one hour, can effect the potency of the insulin and the
function of your Pump System (see “Pump and Catheter Under-delivery”
on the previous page). If you have any questions about an activity you are
planning, you should contact your doctor for advice.
This device may experience communication interruptions when operated
at or near some airport facilities. This will not affect the operation of the
pump, and it will continue delivery of insulin per previously programmed
levels.
Warnings and Precautions
You must check your blood sugar at least four times daily, using a tech-
nique recommended by your doctor. Notify your doctor of any increased
frequency of serious low or high excursions in your blood sugar. High
blood sugar values may indicate under-delivery of insulin. If you experi-
ence symptoms of high blood sugar, check the programmed insulin deliv-
ery settings in your PPC and contact your doctor immediately.
Carry conventional insulin supplies with you at all times, including insu-
lin and a means to inject it, in case your PPC is damaged, lost or inopera-
tive. Periodically review with your doctor your recommended insulin
delivery procedure you should utilize in the event your MiniMed 2007
Implantable Pump System becomes inoperative.
Follow your doctor’s instructions about your insulin delivery. The range
of insulin delivery with your PPC is a basal rate between 0.2 and 35 units
per hour (U/H), and a maximum meal bolus of 25 units (U). Your doctor
may narrow this range by programming maximum limits for your Basal
Rate and Bolus. The alarm “Hourly Maximum Exceeded”will be dis-
played if you try to program more than 2.5 times the maximum bolus in
one hour.
Warnings and Precautions
The PPC is an electronic device, and can be damaged if dropped. Do not
get the PPC wet or take it into very hot or humid environments, such as
steam baths or saunas. If the PPC is damaged, check the displays for
proper operation by performing a “SELF TEST”.Ifthe“SELF TEST”
finds a problem, you will need to replace your PPC. For more information
on the “SELF TEST”procedure, see Chapter 6, Warnings and Precau-
tions.
Your doctor may program specific limits for your Basal Rate and Meal
Bolus. These maximum limits provide a regimen specific to your needs.
Carry a fresh AA 1.5-volt alkaline battery with you at all times. The esti-
mated PPC main battery life is approximately 8 weeks, although this can
be influenced by how often you program your Pump. If the Low Battery
message appears, change the battery as soon as possible, preferably
immediately. If the Depleted Battery Alarm occurs, the PPC will not func-
tion and you will no longer be able to program your Pump.
Keep the PPC near to the Pump during a programming sequence. Separa-
tion of the PPC and Pump may result in a partial transmission of a com-
mand. If this occurs, the PPC will alarm and display “TELEMETRY
COM ERROR”on the screen.
Warnings and Precautions
Physical activities which are not permitted are those involving very hig-
hor low altitudes and pressure changes. Such activities include skiing,
(above 8,000 feet), sky diving, and scuba diving. When you must partici-
pate in such activities, discuss them with you physician who will provide
treatment requirements, such as the temporary use of another method of
insulin delivery, and will refill your Pump with buffer.
Be fully informed and thoroughly understand what to do in an emergency.
Carry your emergency card with you at all times. Additionally, it is
important for individuals close to you, such as family, friends, and co-
workers, to know what to do if you are unable to treat yourself due to ill-
ness or injury.
The following instructions should be used by your family or co-workers
to set the Pump at the lowest basal rate while your doctor is consulted:
1. Press SEL until the PPC displays “SUSPEND PUMP”.
2. Press ACT, the PPC will indicate “PPC COMMUNICATING”.
3. Position the PPC near the Pump.
4. When programming is complete, the PPC will beep and the display
will automatically return to the Time/Day screen. The message
“PUMP SUSPENDED”will be displayed. The Pump will deliver a
basal rate of approximately 0.2 U/h.
In addition to the procedure above, review with family members the
proper procedure for administering glucagon.
It is important to closely monitor blood sugar levels on refill days. During
a refill procedure, a very small amount of insulin may be deposited subcu-
taneously possibly resulting in hypoglycemia.
Warnings and Precautions
In clinical studies, adverse reactions associated with the Medtronic Min-
iMed 2007 Implantable Insulin Pump System included hypoglycemia,
diabetic ketoacidosis hyperglycemia skin erosion, infection, abnormal
healing, elevated anti-insulin antibodies, intestinal obstruction, post-oper-
ative discomfort and pain, and corrective surgery for Pump and Catheter
malfunctions. Malfunctions in the order of frequency and seriousness
include insulin aggregation resulting in Pump under-delivery, Catheter
occlusion or tissue overgrowth, early Pump battery depletion (e.g., less
than six years after implantation) and electronic Pump failure. Adverse
events associated with the use of Aventis HOE 21 PH U-400 insulin are
described in the package insert accompanying the insulin medication.
Your Implantable Insulin Pump uses a special short-acting insulin, so
your body will not have any reserve of long-acting insulin. Interruption of
insulin delivery (due to Pump malfunction or clogging of the Catheter) or
the sudden onset of stress (emotional upset, infection, etc.) may result in a
rapid rise of blood sugar levels, and possibly the development of diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA). Check your blood sugar levels, and your urine for
ketones, if you suspect a high glucose level. Supplemental insulin deliv-
ered by conventional means may be required. Establish a protocol with
your doctor for rapidly identifying and treating hyperglycemia to avoid
the onset of DKA.
The best method for identifying hypoglycemia is testing your blood sugar
levels. Establish a protocol with your doctor for identifying and treating
symptoms of hypoglycemia to avoid an insulin reaction.
Warnings and Precautions
Pump pocket infection, although rare, occur around the Pump implanta-
tion site. If you notice pain, redness, or swelling in the area of your Pump,
contact your doctor immediately. Pump pocket infections may require the
removal of your Pump.
A Pump pocket seroma is generally characterized by swelling around the
area of implantation. It may occur after surgery or if a blow is received to
the Pump site. If you notice swelling around your Pump, contact your
doctor immediately.
Warnings and Precautions
CHAPTER 7 Important Self-Care
Having a Medtronic MiniMed 2007 Implantable Insulin Pump System is
only one aspect of an overall management program to treat your diabetes.
There are many other requirements for achieving near normal blood glu-
cose levels.
This manual presents general information regarding blood glucose moni-
toring, meal planning, exercise and other issues concerning your implant-
able Pump. You will be instructed more specifically on these self-care
issues by your doctor, nurse, and dietitian. Be sure to discuss all questions
with them as they are your best source of information.
A support person such as a family member or friend should also read this
manual and pay particular attention to the section entitled, “Develop
Emergency Plan”in Chapter 6. Your support person should also be able
to program the PPC to stop insulin delivery as described in Chapter 6.
NOTE: Remember much of the success of implantable
pump therapy depends on accurate and frequent
blood glucose monitoring.
Your Pump System does not monitor your blood glucose levels. You must
continue to self-monitor your blood glucose at least four times daily, and
then use this glucose information to program your Pump System. Blood
Important Self-Care
glucose monitoring is the only way to determine if you are receiving the
correct amount of insulin. You should test your blood glucose according
to the method recommended by your doctor.
If you begin to have a problem with glycemic control, it is very important
to record your blood glucose measurements. A careful record may help
determine if the problem is related to your Pump or another cause.
You will always receive some basal insulin from your Implantable Insulin
Pump. When you program a meal bolus, this will be in addition to your
basal rate.
As with any insulin therapy, it is recommended that you keep some form
of fast-acting sugar with you at all times to treat hypoglycemia. If you
have any questions concerning your meal plan and insulin therapy, dis-
cuss them with your healthcare team as they are your best source of infor-
mation.
There are no restrictions on your normal work, school, social, or sexual
activities unless you have a medical condition which does not allow such
activities. Because your Pump is implanted, you may bathe and shower
without any interruption in insulin therapy. However, your PPC is not
waterproof and should be protected from getting damp or wet.
You may participate in most physical activities with your MiniMed 2007
Implantable Pump Insulin System. Rough contact sports are not recom-
mended as Pump pocket injury may occur. Exercise may reduce your
insulin requirements, therefore, you must check your blood glucose fre-
quently during periods of exercise. In addition, it may be necessary to
reduce your basal rate during the exercise.
Important Self-Care
You may travel with your Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin
Pump System. All extended trips should be discussed with your doctor. It
is safe to travel in a pressurized aircraft, which includes all commercial
airlines. Security systems at airports will not affect your Pump, but you
may be asked to show your Patient Emergency Information Card which
explains the Pump and PPC. Remember to always carry conventional
insulin supplies with you when you travel (insulin and syringes or an
external Pump) in case of a medical emergency.
Your doctor will give you a Patient Emergency Information Card when
you receive your Pump System. It provides information about your Pump,
as well as important phone numbers in case of a medical emergency.
CarryYourInformationCardWithYouAtAllTimes.It is also rec-
ommended that you wear a bracelet or necklace indicating that you wear
an implantable insulin Pump.
Important Self-Care
CHAPTER 8 PPC Care and
Maintenance

•Protect the PPC from direct contact with water and moisture.
Never take the PPC into a sauna or steam bath. If the PPC comes
in contact with moisture where the battery compartment is wet,
remove the battery and dry compartment thoroughly. Replace the
battery and perform a “SELF TEST.”
•Protect the PPC from temperatures greater than 40°C (104°F).
Do not leave the PPC in direct sunlight.
•Protect the PPC from cold temperatures less below freezing
(0°C or 32°F).
•Do not drop the PPC. Protect the PPC from sharp blows. Either
could damage the electrical components of the PPC and affect its
ability to program your implantable Pump.
PPC Care and Maintenance
•If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap to clean the
outside of the PPC. Do not use a wet cloth or dip the PPC in any
liquid. Moisture may harm the PPC’s electrical components.
•Never use organic solvents or harsh detergents to clean the PPC.
•Always completely dry the PPC after cleaning.
•Never spray any cleaning solutions directly onto the PPC, espe-
cially the keyboard panel.
