MiniMed Flex Pump System, Government | Edgepark

The MiniMed Flex^™ is a fully connected automated insulin delivery system designed to help simplify diabetes management. Controlled directly from a compatible smartphone through the MiniMed^™ app, this insulin pump combines advanced automation with a compact design. Approximately half the size of other MiniMed insulin pumps, the MiniMed Flex pump holds up to 300 units of insulin.

The MiniMed Flex system is powered by advanced SmartGuard^™ technology, an automated insulin delivery feature that continuously adjusts insulin and provides automatic corrections throughout the day to help protect against high glucose levels without increasing lows. The system also includes built-in Meal Detection^™ technology, which identifies rapid rises in sensor glucose and can automatically deliver correction insulin for occasional missed meal boluses or underestimated carbohydrate intake. For a more personalized diabetes management experience, MiniMed Flex offers flexible glucose target options of 100, 110, or 120 mg/dL. Once a target is selected, the system automatically works to help keep glucose levels within range.
