Inserting the sensor
Always refer to your sensor user guide for instructions on how to insert the sensor.
Connecting the transmitter to the sensor
Before proceeding, have your MiniMed insulin pump system user guide available.
To connect the transmitter to the sensor:
1. After the sensor is inserted, consult your sensor user guide for details on how to apply the
required tape before connecting the transmitter.
2. Hold the rounded end of the inserted sensor to prevent it from moving during connection.
3. Hold the transmitter as shown. Line up the two notches on the transmitter with the side arms
of the sensor. The flat side of the transmitter should face the skin.
4. Slide the transmitter onto the sensor connector until the sensor arms snap into the notches on
the transmitter. If the transmitter is properly connected, and if the sensor has had enough time
to become hydrated with the interstitial fluid, the green light on the transmitter will flash 6 times.
Note: If the transmitter does not flash, see Troubleshooting, page 34.
5. When the transmitter light flashes green after connecting to the sensor, use your pump to start
the sensor. For more instructions, see your system user guide.
6. Attach the adhesive tab of the sensor to the transmitter.
7. After the transmitter is connected, consult your sensor user guide for details on applying the
required tape.
8. Follow the instructions that appear on the pump screen or in your system user guide.
