• Sensor — The sensor (MMT-7002/MMT-7003) is a membrane-covered
electrode inserted through the skin into the fatty layer underneath
with an insertion device. The sensor tells the transmitter how much
glucose is in the interstitial fluid at the insertion site. The transmitter
sends this data to the monitor and the monitor screen shows you the
reading.
Accessories
Medtronic offers the following accessories to help you better use and more easily wear your monitor.
•
CareLink
®
USB Upload Device — The Medtronic Diabetes CareLink
®
USB (MMT-7305) is a radio
frequency (RF) device that plugs into your computer's USB port and uploads Guardian REAL-Time CGM
System data to your diabetes management software.
• Meter — Your Guardian REAL-Time can be used with an optional blood glucose meter powered by
MWT1 technology (where or if available) that you can program to automatically transmit blood glucose
test results to your Guardian monitor. MWT1 is the wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology that is
used to transmit information from the meter to the monitor. (You can also use a non-RF meter with
your monitor, and manually enter your BG measurements.)
• Holster — To wear the monitor on your belt.
• Monitor clip — To wear the monitor underneath your clothing.
• Leather case — Fine leather lined with nylon. Styling complements business and formal wear. A flap
with a hook-and-loop fastener provides easy programming access. Wear it vertically with the built-in
belt clip.
