CHAPTER 1 Description of the Medtronic
MiniMed 2007C Implantable
Insulin Pump System
Introduction
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System brings
together sophisticated new technologies to provide continuous intraperi-
toneal insulin therapy for patients with Insulin Dependent Diabetes Melli-
tus (IDDM). The development of the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C
Implantable Insulin Pump System is the result of years of cooperative
research and development between MiniMed and:
The Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory.
U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space
Flight Center. U.S. National Institutes of Health.
This manual is intended for use by the physician, surgeon, nurse specialist
and all other members of the healthcare team who care for patients with
the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System uses
only special insulin formulations. The only insulin available today for use
in the Pump is HOE 21 PH U-400, manufactured by Aventis.

The system consists of three major components:
• Implantable Insulin Pump
• Side Port Catheter
• Personal Pump Communicator (PPC)
Each of these components, as well as system safety features, are discussed
in detail in the following sections.

Implantable Insulin Pump 13
Implantable Insulin Pump
The Implantable Insulin Pump (Pump) is a round disc, 8.1 cm (3.2 inches)
in diameter, 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 titanium.
Titanium is a biocompatible metal used in many types of implantable
medical devices. A tangential Side Port Catheter is attached to the Pump
prior to implant, using a locking connector (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: The Implantable Insulin Pump
The Implantable Insulin Pump is an advanced insulin infusion device with
sophisticated microelectronics. It delivers a special insulin medication,
using a pulsatile solenoid pumping mechanism that is hermetically sealed
inside the biocompatible titanium case. Insulin delivery rates and profiles
are programmed using an external device, the Personal Pump Communi-
cator (PPC). Specific information on the Implantable Insulin Pump fea-
tures is outlined in the following sections.
Dmp9196021-011_c.book Page 13 Thursday, April 4, 2002 8:15 AM

The Pump has six major components. These components are outlined
below:
• medication reservoir
• pumping mechanism
• microelectronics
• antenna
•battery
• tone transducer
Other components of the Pump include the inlet valve, fill port, septum,
Freon gas and 20µm filter. Figure 3 shows the interior components of the
Pump.
Figure 3: Interior of the Implantable Insulin Pump
Dmp9196021-011_c.book Page 14 Thursday, April 4, 2002 8:15 AM
Implantable Insulin Pump 15
The Medication Reservoir stores approximately 15 ml or 6,000 units of
a special U-400 insulin. Depending on an individual’s insulin require-
ments, the medication reservoir is refilled once in approximately every
two to three months. The medication reservoir is maintained at a negative
pressure (vacuum) at all times to allow for safe and reliable filling. This
vacuum prevents any risk of insulin leakage in the event of a breach in the
Pump case or reservoir. The reservoir is refilled with a special needle
(MiniMed Refill Needle MMT-4102). The fill port has a 20 micron filter
to prevent particulate material from entering the Pump and a redundant
septum and valve configuration to prevent entry of body fluids.
The Pumping Mechanism is a solenoid-operated, hermetically-welded
pulsatile system. The pumping mechanism is designed to seal automati-
cally to prevent leakage both into and out of the reservoir under physio-
logic temperatures and pressures. The mechanism is designed to provide
an insulin delivery accuracy of +10% from its labeled stroke volume.
Individual Pumps are calibrated to one of seventeen different stroke vol-
umes, ranging from 0.42 µL to 0.58 µL per stroke, in increments of
0.01 µL.
The Microelectronics act as the brain of the Pump. The microelectronics
contain two microprocessors which monitor and control all pump-stroke
activity. All commands delivered from the PPC via RF telemetry to the
Pump are then acknowledged back at the PPC. The Pump has a large
memory which stores Pump specifications and programming history.
The Antenna receives radiowaves from the PPC and delivers PPC pro-
gramming commands to the Pump microelectronics.
The Battery is a custom-made lithium carbon mono-fluoride power cell,
which supplies energy to the pumping mechanism and microelectronics.
It is similar to batteries used in pacemakers and is designed to provide 6 to
10 years of service, depending on the infusion rate (refer to pump specifi-
cations).
The Tone Transducer emits beeps to indicate certain alarm conditions.
These beeps are designed to be audible through the skin and can be set
with the PPC to one of two volumes. The Pump can also be programmed
to emit beeps that signal a programmed change in the medication delivery
rate.

Radio-Opaque Identification the Implantable Insulin Pump features
radio-opaque identification. In the event of an emergency, the name
of the manufacturer and the Pump model number can be identified
with an x-ray.
Insulin medication
Only Aventis HOE 21 PH U-400 insulin can be used with the Medtronic
MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System.
HOE 21 PH U-400 is a highly purified, semi-synthetic human insulin
with 0.2% phenol as a preserving agent, glycerol as an isotonic compo-
nent, TRIS as a buffer, plus zinc and Genapol® as stabilizing agents.
HOE 21 PH U-400 is equivalent in mode of action to normal (soluble)
insulin. A special U-400 insulin concentration has been developed for use
in the Implantable Insulin Pump and is supplied in 10mL vials (400U/
mL) from Aventis.
Side Port Catheter
The Side Port Catheter (Catheter) transports insulin from the Pump into
an individual’s peritoneum where it is absorbed. The Catheter is made of
polyethylene-lined silicone rubber, which is biocompatible with subcuta-
neous and intraperitoneal tissues and supports the stability of the special
insulin. The Catheter is designed with two perpendicular sections: a
proximal subcutaneous section which attaches tangentially to the Pump
with a locking connector, and a distal section which is placed in the peri-
toneum (see Figure 4). To enable post-implant localization, a radioopaque
stripe runs the length of the Catheter.

Figure 4: The Intraperitoneal Catheter and Side Port
The Catheter side port is intended to provide access to the Catheter and
Pump outlet, in order to perform the non-surgical interventions and diag-
nostic procedures described in Appendices E, F and G. The side port
allows for the introduction of a needle and small syringe to clear Catheter
obstructions using pressures up to 100 psi. It also allows for the introduc-
tion of a needle to verify Pump stroke volume and permit non-surgical
diagnoses of Catheter blockages by direct pressure measurement.

Personal Pump Communicator (PPC)
The Personal Pump Communicator (PPC) is the hand-held component of
the MiniMed 2007C Implantable Pump System (see Figure 5).
The PPC allows the physician and patient to communicate with the Pump
by transmitting radio frequency messages when the PPC is held within 3”
of the Pump. Additionally, the PPC stores important programming infor-
mation in its memory.
Figure 5: Personal Pump Communicator (PPC)
Dmp9196021-011_c.book Page 18 Thursday, April 4, 2002 8:15 AM
Implantable Insulin Pump 19
The PPC has been designed so the physician and patient can:
• Program basal infusion rates (48 basal rates, 3 different patterns)
• Deliver or suspend an immediate, square wave, or dual wave
bolus of insulin
• Deliver or cancel a temporary basal rate
• Review the delivery history
• Enter personal events (meal, snack, exercise)
Independent of the programming function, the PPC is able to receive and
record certain programming data from the Pump. The recorded informa-
tion is accessible and can be displayed on the screen.

CHAPTER 2 Indications and
Contraindications
Indications for use
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System is
indicated for intraperitoneal administration of exogenous insulin in
patients with diabetes mellitus.
Only Aventis HOE 21 PH U-400 insulin is indicated for use in the
Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System.
Contraindications for use
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System is con-
traindicated in patients who:
• are unwilling or unable to monitor their blood glucose level at
least four times per day.
• are unwilling or unable to make programming modifications to
the Pump based on glucose level readings.
• are unable or unwilling to administer insulin by other means, if
necessary.
• are unable or unwilling to comply with the guidance and advice
of their treating physician and other healthcare providers.
Dmp9196021-011_c.book Page 21 Thursday, April 4, 2002 8:15 AM
Indications and Contraindications
22
• reside at or travel (other than by pressurized commercial aircraft)
at elevations above 8,000 feet.
• have other medical or mental conditions which may place the
patient at risk.
• are unwilling or unable to return for routine insulin refills accord-
ing to their dosage requirements (approximately once every 2-3
months).
• present or have a history of sensitivity to titanium alloy,
polysulfone or silicone materials used in the implanted compo-
nents of the system.
Possible adverse effects
The MiniMed 2001 Implantable Insulin Pump System has undergone an
extensive clinical evaluation. The model 2007C is essentially identical to
the model 2001 Pump except for the use of updated electronics and bat-
tery. Evaluation of components used in the MiniMed 2001 System
spanned a period of ten years and involved approximately 650 patients
from both the U.S. and Europe. Although clinically relevant over-delivery
of insulin did not occur during the ten year evaluation period, there is a
potential for such an occurrence.
The following are specific adverse effects which should be understood by
the physician and explained to the patient. These do not include all
adverse effects which can occur with surgery in general or with the use of
this device, but are important considerations, particularly in the treatment
of diabetic patients. The general surgical risks, as well as operative site
cosmetic risks, should be explained to the patient prior to surgery.

CHAPTER 3 Personal Pump Communicator
(PPC)
Introduction
The Personal Pump Communicator (PPC) has a comprehensive set of pro-
gramming features to control the Implantable Insulin Pump in the treat-
ment of IDDM. The PPC cannot be used by the patient until it has been
initialized by the healthcare professional. This chapter of the manual is
divided in two parts:
The first part (Part 1) will describe the PPC/PUMP system initialization
process that will be performed the day prior to implant.
The second part (Part 2) will describe how to use the additional features
that the healthcare professional or patients can activate.

PPC Icons
After initialization, the PPC Main Screen displays the time (12hr. or 24hr.
format), month, day and a variety of icons. The type and purpose of these
icons are as follows:
Certain features of the PPC such as programming and dosing limits can be
set only by the healthcare professional in a password-protected mode
called the Supervisor Mode. Information pertaining to initializing the
PPC and entering the PPC Supervisor Mode is not included in the Patient
User Manual.
Bell Icon:
Displayed when the PPC receives a telemetry message from the Pump
indicating that the Pump has detected an alarm condition, when a PPC
error is detected and when the Pump is Suspended or Stopped.
Reservoir Level Indicator Icon:
The reservoir icon is composed of 4 segments that indicate how full
the Pump reservoir is, based on the history of Pump delivery.
Insulin Delivery Icon:
The PPC simulates spinning the delivery icon when insulin delivery is
in progress by displaying alternating patterns, the pattern changes
every 4 seconds. When the Pump is delivering a bolus, the pattern will
show three delivery segments. When the Pump is delivering a basal
rate, the pattern will show one delivery segment. When the Pump is
not delivering, all four segments will be displayed.

Communicating with the pump
Place the PPC near the Pump when the screen displays, “PPC COMMU-
NICATING.” The word "COMMUNICATING" will blink as indication of
succesfull communication. If a communication link between the PPC and
Pump is not established, a “TELEMETRY COMM ERROR 3” message
will appear. The PPC will beep six times once every minute until the
screen is acknowledged by pressing SEL and ACT. The screen will then
display “PPC COMMUNICATING” again.
After a communication is established between the PPC and Pump and
program information is successfully transferred to the Pump, the PPC will
beep once and return to the Time/Date screen.
• Always press the PPC buttons slowly and firmly. Wait until the
screen changes before pressing the button again.
• A flashing value on the screen means that the value is activated,
and can be changed by pressing the arrow buttons.
• The PPC cannot be turned off. Once the battery has been
installed, the PPC is on and remains on until the battery is
removed.
• Certain types of Radio Frequency (RF) generating equipment
could affect PPC communication with the Pump. If you are expe-
riencing communication difficulties, change locations.
• The time and date settings must be correct to ensure appropriate
calculation of insulin delivery and display of daily totals and
activity history.

Initialize the PPC
When the healthcare professional receives a new PPC it must be “mar-
ried” to the Pump. Following are the basic steps used to initialize a Pump
System the day prior to implant:
1. The PPC is delivered without a battery in
place. After installing a new battery, the
PPC will beep six times and the screen
will identify the PPC software used (see
Chapter 1, Install/Replace the Main
Battery).
2. The screen now changes to, “PPC NOT
INITIALIZED”, and the PPC will beep six
times once every minute until the initial-
ization process is started. Press SEL and
then ACT, then quickly place the PPC
over the Pump.
3. When a communication link has been
established, the screen will read, “PPC
COMMUNICATING”, and then will
change to the next screen.
4. “NO” is blinking. Check to make sure the
serial number displayed on the screen
matches the Pump serial number. Press
either ▲
▲▲
▲ or ▼
▼▼
▼ once to change “NO” to
“YES” and then press ACT. Place the
PPC over the Pump.
5. The screen again reads “PPC COMMUNI-
CATING”, and the PPC will beep 3 times
at the end of the programming sequence.
During this process, the PPC receives all
of the factory preset values contained in
the Pump memory.

CHAPTER 4 Pump Implantation
Preprogramming and pre-testing the pump
Every Implantable Insulin Pump is fully tested before shipment and is
accompanied by a package insert indicating the measured stroke volume
and Pump type. Prior to shipping, each Pump is filled with sterile rinse
buffer to assure sterility.
Programming of the Pump may be performed a day before Pump implan-
tation. The Implantable Insulin Pump may be programmed through the
outer tray of the sterile package. First, the PPC needs to be “married” to
the Pump, then the Pump function is verified by performing the initializa-
tion procedure described in Chapter 3, PPC/Pump System Initialization.
Registration card
To ensure proper patient identification and device serial number tracking,
the Registration Card that accompanies each Pump must be completed
and promptly returned to MiniMed.

Emptying and filling the Pump
To prepare the Pump for implantation, the Pump must be emptied and
then filled twice and tested with insulin. These procedures are performed
in the operating room prior to implanting the patient. As this is a surgery,
all supplies and required equipment should be prepared in accordance
with the institution’s approved sterile procedures.
When you remove the Pump from the
sterile box, do not remove the plastic
tubing placed at the Pump outlet. Trim
the distal part with a scalpel blade. This
tubing will be used for the “Stroke
Volume Measurement” procedure.
DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE THE TUBING
BACK ON THE PUMP OUTLET, or you can dis-
place or damage the “O” ring placed around the outlet.
A sterile field is established in the operating room to prepare the RINSE
BUFFER (RB) syringe and remove the shipping fluid from the pump.
Document the Pump, Catheter and PPC serial numbers on the Implant
Worksheet.

Remove shipping fluid from the Pump
1. Using aseptic technique, open the Pump sterile package. Do not
remove the plastic tubing from the Pump outlet. Trim the distal part
of the tubing with the scalpel blade.
2. Remove the refill syringe from the refill kit package.
3. Firmly attach the two-way stopcock to the refill syringe and attach an
18 gauge needle to the stopcock.
4. Draw approximately 4 mL of RINSE BUFFER into the refill syringe.
5. Fill the hub of the refill needle with RINSE BUFFER and firmly
attach it to the stopcock, prime the needle and close the stopcock.

6. Retract the plunger until it locks into place. This should be no further
than 55 mL. Do not go beyond the vent hole. Press the lock into the
plunger groove to be sure it is firmly secured.
7. Fill one 3 mL syringe with RINSE BUFFER (RB) and attach a needle.
8. Fill the Pump fill port using the 3 mL syringe. Any time a refill nee-
dle is to be inserted into the Pump fill port, a fluid barrier must be
present to prevent air from entering the Pump reservoir.
9. With the stopcock still closed, insert the RB syringe into the Pump fill
port. Press down with at least one-half pound of force to open the
inlet valve. As the needle passes through the septum and seats in the
valve, you can feel approximately 0.5mm of movement as the valve is
opened.
10. Open the stopcock and allow the syringe vacuum to empty the Pump
of shipping fluid. Allow 30 seconds after the fluid level appears to
have stopped rising in the refill syringe, to assure the Pump is com-
pletely emptied. Close the stopcock and remove the syringe.

Rinse the Pump with insulin (IN1)
11. Remove the second refill syringe from the refill kit package.
12. Firmly attach the two-way stopcock to the refill syringe and attach an
18 gauge needle to the stopcock. Use the sterile marker to label the
syringe, “IN1”.
13. Draw 20 mL of INSULIN (two vials) into the refill syringe.
14. Remove the 18 gauge needle and expel all air bubbles in the syringe.
15. Close the stopcock.
16. Retract the plunger until it locks into place. This should be no further
than 55 mL. Do not go beyond the vent hole. Press the lock into the
plunger groove to be sure it is firmly secured.
17. Shake vigorously for a minimum of 30 seconds to degas the
INSULIN.
18. Point the syringe tip upward and slowly open the stopcock to vent the
syringe.
19. Release the locking ring on the refill syringe.
20. Expel air in the syringe and carefully observe to ensure no air bubbles
remain in the syringe. If air bubbles are noted, repeat steps 15 - 20.
21. Fill the hub of the refill needle with INSULIN and attach it to the
stopcock.
22. Prime the needle and close the stopcock.
23. Refill the fill port with the 3 mL RINSE BUFFER syringe, as needed,
to maintain the fluid barrier.
24. Use the “IN1” syringe containing the degassed INSULIN to fill the
Pump.

25. Use this step only if the plunger is not moving forward while filling
the reservoir.
26. With the refill needle pointing down, vent the syringe head space by
pulling back firmly on the plunger until the second sealing ring on the
black rubber cap passes beyond the vent hole (see Figure 7).

27. With the stopcock closed, press the refill needle into the Pump fill
port.
28. Open the stopcock. Maintain downward pressure on the barrel of the
syringe to ensure the inlet valve of the Pump remains open.
Never push on the refill syringe plunger to
fill the Pump. When the refill needle is
properly seated in the fill port of the
Pump, the vacuum in the reservoir will
draw the insulin from the syringe.
29. Allow the Pump vacuum to draw the INSULIN into the reservoir.
When the INSULIN stops moving, the Pump is filled. Close the stop-
cock and remove the syringe.
30. Prepare the IN1 syringe for aspiration. Remove any air from the
syringe, prime the needle, close the stopcock and obtain a vacuum by
pulling back on the plunger until it locks. Press the lock into the
plunger groove to be sure it is firmly secured. A fluid barrier of at
least 2 mL should remain in the syringe.
31. Press the refill needle back into the Pump fill port with the stopcock
closed.
32. Open the stopcock and empty the Pump. Allow 30 seconds after the
INSULIN level appears to have stopped rising in the refill syringe to
assure the Pump is completely emptied.
33. Close the stopcock and remove the syringe.
