The Guardian REAL-Time CGM System (CSS7100K) provides real-time glucose values that allow users to
track patterns in glucose concentrations and to possibly identify episodes of low and high blood glucose. It
also stores the data so that it can be analyzed to track patterns. Glucose data can be further downloaded
to PC software for analysis of historical glucose values. The Guardian REAL-Time monitor can be
programmed to automatically receive fingerstick blood glucose calibration values transmitted from Bayer's

meter, or a
BD Paradigm Link
®
glucose meter (calibration values from these meters can also be manually entered).
Calibrations from all other glucose meters must be manually entered into the monitor.
The MiniLink transmitter is indicated for use as a component of select Medtronic Diabetes continuous
glucose sensing systems and Medtronic Diabetes sensor-enabled pump systems.
Contraindications
Glucose monitoring therapy is not recommended for people who are unwilling or unable to perform a
minimum of two meter blood glucose tests per day and to maintain contact with their healthcare
professional. Successful monitor therapy requires sufficient vision or hearing to allow recognition of the
monitor signals and alarms.
Do not expose your MiniLink transmitter or Guardian REAL-Time monitor to MRI equipment, diathermy, or
other devices that generate strong magnetic fields. If your transmitter is inadvertently exposed to a strong
magnetic field, discontinue use and contact your physician.
Safety Warnings
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications to the devices not expressly approved by Medtronic may
damage the system and could void your warranty.
Sensor
The sensor can create special needs about your medical conditions or medications. Please discuss these
conditions and medications with your healthcare professional before using the sensor.
Transmitter
Product contains small parts and may pose a choking hazard for young children.
The transmitter must be disconnected from the sensor while traveling on an aircraft or if it interferes with
another transmitting device.
