Description of the system
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D Implantable Insulin Pump System (see Figure 1)
is an "open-loop" system, which means you must test your blood glucose in
accordance with the method and frequency recommended by your physician.
Based on the results of your blood glucose testing, you can program the Pump
with desired rates 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
Implantable Insulin Pump
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 titanium. Titanium is a
biocompatible metal used in many types of implantable 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.

The Pump has six major components: the medication reservoir, the pumping
mechanism, the antenna, the microelectronics, the battery, and the tone
transducer. Figure 2 shows the interior of the Pump.
Figure 2: Interior of the Implantable Insulin Pump
Medication reservoir
The medication reservoir holds the insulin and is refilled with a special
syringe through the Pump fill port.
Pumping mechanism
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.
Antenna
The Pump antenna receives the radio signals from the PPC and delivers the
PPC’s programmed message to the microelectronics of the Pump.
Microelectronics
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.
Battery
The battery supplies power to the pumping mechanism and microelectronics. It is
a lithium carbon mono-fluoride battery specially designed for the Implantable
Insulin Pump.
Tone transducer
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.
Side Port Catheter
The Side Port Catheter (catheter) is a soft plastic tube, made of polyethylene-
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
Figure 3.

Personal Pump Communicator (PPC)
The Personal Pump Communicator (PPC) is a hand-held device which allows
you to send commands to your Pump and receive Pump information 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.
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)
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
Table of contents
6
• 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 only be used
with your Implantable Insulin Pump. Do not attempt to
use any other PPC to program your Pump, unless
specifically instructed to do so by your doctor.
Special insulin
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D 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 2007D Implantable Insulin
Pump System.

CHAPTER 2 Safety features
Pump safety features
Safe telemetry
Your Pump will respond only to telemetry commands from your PPC. Your
Pump will not change when exposed to electromagnetic fields, such as micro-
wave ovens, garage door openers, airport security systems, television or video
remote controls.
Alarms
The most important safety feature of your Pump is its self-checking circuitry.
If your Pump is not working properly, it will signal you with an alarm mes-
sage on the PPC screen and then automatically turn itself off. This feature
ensures that your Pump will always deliver insulin in a controlled, predictable
manner.
Negative pressure reservoir
The Pump reservoir has a negative pressure (vacuum) which will draw in flu-
ids. In the event of a Pump malfunction, this vacuum assures your insulin will
stay in the reservoir. There are multiple safety features to assure that your
body fluids won’t enter the Pump. Only the pumping mechanism can over-
come this negative pressure and deliver insulin to your body.
Table of contents
8
PPC safety features
Programming sequence
In order to send a command to your Pump, your PPC must be properly posi-
tioned nearby and a series of programming steps must be followed.
Maximum dosage limits
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.
Alarms and messages
Your PPC prompts you with many easy-to-read messages on the screen. Also,
the PPC emits beeps to notify you of certain conditions, such as battery 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 Implanting the Medtronic
MiniMed 2007D Pump
System
Hospitalization
You will be admitted to the hospital to have your Medtronic MiniMed 2007D
Implantable Insulin Pump surgically implanted and stabilized. 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
Pre-operative procedures
You will have blood drawn, be given diagnostic procedures, and possibly
other tests before your scheduled surgery date. You should ask your doctor
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 discuss
the exact location of implantation with you. The choice of a Pump site may
depend upon the catheter location and the size and shape of your body or
whether or not you have had any previous abdominal surgery, such as an
appendectomy.
The Pump may be implanted using either local or general anesthesia. This
decision will be made by you, your doctor, the Surgeon, and the Anesthesiolo-
gist. 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.
Table of contents
10
Implantation procedures
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 positioned and the Pump is
secured, the Surgeon will use sutures to close the incision in your skin. Ban-
dages 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.
Post-operative procedures
The length of your hospital stay will be determined by your doctor. Your stay
will depend upon how quickly you recover, and how quickly you learn to use
the Medtronic MiniMed 2007D 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 hospital, 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.
• Ask your doctor to complete and return your Device Registration Card
to Medtronic MiniMed. This card contains the Pump and Catheter serial
numbers, which are needed for device tracking by
Medtronic 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.
Table of contents 11
Follow-up
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 several weeks fol-
lowing 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.
Pump refills
Insulin used with the Implantable Pump
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.
Pump refill procedure
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 infec-
tion.
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
Table of contents
12
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
Introduction
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
4 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.
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
Table of contents
14
results of your blood sugar tests to determine the appropriate dose of insulin
to be delivered by your Pump.
PPC screen icons
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 follows:
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
failure, 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
delivery 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.
Table of contents 15
PPC buttons
PPC programming information is entered using four buttons:

day and night. Your PPC allows you to 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 2007D Implantable Insulin Pump System is
equipped with various alarms and messages that ensure the correct function of
the system.
The pump alarms
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 alarm consists of 4 beeps each
minute for 10 minutes then, 4 double tones each minute for 10 minutes and
will then repeat pattern. Upon hearing the alarm, you need to communicate
with your PPC to determine the alarm condition and call your Physician. Use
the Read Pump Data option to communicate to the Pump. The alarm can be
cleared by pressing SEL and ACT.
Table of contents
42
The PPC alarms
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:
Alarm type 1
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 alter-
nating tones. The PPC will continue to do so every minute until the condition
is cleared.
Alarm type 2
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 will emit 6 beeps, 3 times for every 30
minutes while the condition exists.
Table of contents 43
Pump alarms
Alarm feedback
The Alarm Feedback function allows you to verify the Pump and the Pump
beeper are operating normally. When Alarm Feedback is programmed “YES,”
the Pump will beep on each of the first five Pump 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.”
Pump low battery
The Implantable Insulin Pump battery is designed to last approximately seven
years during conditions of normal use (see Chapter 9, Technical Specifica-
tions). Battery life may vary somewhat depending upon your insulin delivery
requirements. When battery energy becomes low, a voltage sensor in the
Pump will trigger the Pump Low Battery Alarm. A Pump Low Battery Alarm
indicates there are approximately eight weeks of battery energy remaining.
You can clear this condition and your Pump will continue to operate normally.
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.
Depleted pump battery
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.

System error
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 established between you
and your doctor. Notify your doctor immediately of the System Error.
Pump self test fail
If 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
Warnings
Electrotherapy
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D Implantable Insulin Pump System has been
tested with electrosurgical cutting tools, electrocoagulation, and cardiac
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.
Diagnostic ultrasound
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D 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 func-
tion (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.
Ultrasound therapy
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D Implantable Insulin Pump System should not
be exposed to therapeutic ultrasound procedures, such as lithotripsy. Exposure
to ultrasound therapy may damage the Pump System.
Diagnostic radiation
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D 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
Table of contents
52
are operating properly. If the system is not performing correctly, contact your
doctor.
Therapeutic radiation
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D 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 radia-
tion 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.
Magnetic resonance imaging
You cannot undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging procedures with the
Medtronic MiniMed 2007D Implantable Pump System.
Pump and catheter under-delivery
Under-delivery or “backflow” may occur when insulin deposits collect in the
pumping mechanism inside your Pump. These deposits affect the vacuum 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.
If your Pump is under-delivering insulin, you may feel symptoms of hypergly-
cemia. If this occurs, you should contact your doctor immediately. Your doc-
tor will instruct you on how to manage your blood glucose levels until the
Pump can be corrected.
Another under-delivery condition can also be 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.
Pump electronic or alarm malfunction
If the Pump’s electronic or alarm systems malfunction, Self Test circuitry will
detect the malfunction and may stop the Pump. Notify your doctor immedi-
ately 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.
Table of contents 53
Reservoir level warnings
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 5. If the low reservoir alarm sounds and you do not
have a refill appointment scheduled within two weeks, call your doctor imme-
diately to schedule a refill.
Environmental conditions
NOTE: If you are in doubt about whether a condition or
situation will affect your Pump, contact your doctor
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 environmental con-
ditions:
• 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 damage
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 completely.
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. Consult your doctor.
Exposure to elevated temperatures in excess of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e.
hot tubs, saunas) for longer than one hour can effect the potency of the insulin
Table of contents
54
and the function of your Pump System (see “Pump and Catheter Under-deliv-
ery” on the previous pages). 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.
Precautions
Blood glucose monitoring
You must check your blood sugar at least four times daily, using a technique
recommended by your doctor. Notify your doctor of any increased frequency
of serious low or high excursions in your blood sugar. High blood sugar val-
ues may indicate under-delivery of insulin. If you experience symptoms of
high blood sugar, check the programmed insulin delivery settings in your PPC
and contact your doctor immediately.
Conventional insulin supplies
Carry conventional insulin supplies with you at all times, including insulin
and a means to inject it, in case your PPC is damaged, lost or inoperative.
Periodically review with your doctor your recommended insulin delivery pro-
cedure you should utilize in the event your Medtronic
MiniMed 2007D Implantable Pump System becomes inoperative.
Physician’s instructions
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 nar-
row this range by programming maximum limits for your Basal Rate and
Bolus. The alarm “Hourly Maximum Exceeded” will be displayed if you try
to program more than 2.5 times the maximum bolus in one hour.
PPC
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 opera-
tion by performing a “SELF TEST”. If the “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 Precautions.
Maximum dosages
Your doctor may program specific limits for your Basal Rate and Meal Bolus.
These maximum limits provide a regimen specific to your needs.
Battery change
Carry a fresh AA 1.5-volt alkaline battery with you at all times. The estimated
PPC main battery life is approximately 6 weeks, although this can be influ-
enced by how often you program your Pump. If the Low Battery message
appears, change the battery as soon as possible, preferably immediately.
Proper PPC positioning
Keep the PPC near to the Pump during a programming sequence. Separation
of the PPC and Pump may result in a partial transmission of a command. If
this occurs, the PPC will alarm and display “COMM ERROR RE-
ATTEMPT” on the screen.
Physical activities to avoid
Physical activities which are not permitted are those involving very HIGH or
LOW altitudes and pressure changes. Such activities include skiing, (above
8,000 feet), sky diving, and scuba diving. When you must participate in such
activities, discuss them with your physician who will provide treatment
requirements, such as the temporary use of another method of insulin delivery,
and will refill your Pump with buffer.
Emergency plan
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 illness or injury.
The following instructions should be used by your family or friends to set the
Pump to 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”.

56
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 subcutane-
ously possibly resulting in hypoglycemia.
Adverse reactions
In clinical studies, adverse reactions associated with the Medtronic
MiniMed 2007 Implantable Insulin Pump System included hypoglycemia,
diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, skin erosion, infection, abnormal heal-
ing, elevated anti-insulin antibodies, intestinal obstruction, post-operative dis-
comfort and pain. Malfunctions in the order of frequency and seriousness
include insulin aggregation resulting in Pump under-delivery, Catheter occlu-
sion or tissue overgrowth, early Pump battery depletion 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 medica-
tion.
Hyperglycemia
Your Implantable Insulin Pump uses a special regular insulin, so your body
will not have any reserve of long-acting insulin. Interruption of insulin deliv-
ery (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 delivered by conventional means
may be required. Establish a protocol with your doctor for rapidly identifying
and treating hyperglycemia to avoid the onset of DKA.
Table of contents 57
Hypoglycemia
The best method for identifying hypoglycemia is testing your blood sugar lev-
els. Establish a protocol with your doctor for identifying and treating symp-
toms of hypoglycemia to avoid an insulin reaction.
Pump pocket infection
Pump pocket infection, although rare, occurs around the Pump implantation
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.
Pump pocket seroma
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.

CHAPTER 7 Important Self-Care
Having a Medtronic MiniMed 2007D 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 glucose
levels.
This manual presents general information regarding blood glucose monitor-
ing, meal planning, exercise and other issues concerning your implantable
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, “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.
Blood glucose monitoring
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 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 deter-
mine if the problem is related to your Pump or another cause.
Table of contents
60
Meal plan
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, discuss them with
your healthcare team as they are your best source of information.
Daily activities
There are no restrictions on your normal work, school, social, or sexual activ-
ities 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.
Exercise
You may participate in most physical activities with your Medtronic
MiniMed 2007D Implantable Pump Insulin System. Rough contact sports are
not recommended 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.
Travel
You may travel with your Medtronic MiniMed 2007D 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 medi-
cal emergency.
Table of contents 61
Medtronic MiniMed information card
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. Carry Your
Information Card With You At All Times. It is also recommended that you
wear a bracelet or necklace indicating that you have an implantable insulin
Pump.

CHAPTER 8 PPC Care and Maintenance
Installing/replacing the main battery
PPC Battery life is estimated to be approximately 4 weeks. Only AA 1.5 volt
alkaline battery is recommended for use with the PPC. To replace the PPC
Main Battery:
1. Locate the battery door on the back of the PPC.
2. Slide the locking bar to the left.
3. Push the middle part of the PPC box (under the battery door) and lift by
gently pulling up the battery door to unlatch.
4. Remove the old battery, noting the polarity. The PPC screen will be blank.
5. Position the new battery so the + and - markings on the battery match the
polarity diagram in the battery compartment.
6. Close the battery door.
7. Slide the locking bar to the right.
8. The PPC screen reappears after 30 seconds.
9. The PPC will beep six times and display
“PPC/PUMP.”
10. After a few seconds, the screen will change to
“CHECK PUMP STATUS.”
11. Press SEL and ACT, then place the PPC over
the Pump.

12. Allow the communication to complete.
NOTE: When the PPC displays “PPC LOW BATTERY,” you
can clear the message and continue programming.
There should be sufficient energy in the battery to
communicate with the Pump. If while programming the
PPC goes blank, the PPC beeps six times and then the
"CHECK PUMP STATUS" message appears, the PPC
(AA 1.5v alkaline) battery needs to be replaced. For
instructions, see "Installing/Replacing the Main
Battery" in this Chapter.
Physical protection
• 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 than below freezing 0°C
(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.
