Monitor — Your Guardian
®
REAL-Time monitor (CSS7100/CSS7100K) shows
real-time glucose measurements, tells you about changes in glucose levels,
provides historical information, and displays system information such as low
battery alerts.
•
Transmitter — The Medtronic MiniLink
®
transmitter
(MMT-7703) is a small rechargeable device that
connects to the glucose sensor that is inserted into
the body. When connected to the sensor, the
MiniLink transmitter automatically initializes the
sensor, collects glucose data, and wirelessly sends
the data to your monitor. It comes with two
Watertight Testers (MMT-7726) and a charger (MMT-7705).
