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.
