The Medtronic MiniMed MiniLink™ transmitter (MiniLink) is a component of continuous glucose sensing systems and sensor-enabled pump systems. The MiniLink powers the glucose sensor, collects glucose data, and wirelessly sends the data to a monitor. The monitor is part of a Medtronic MiniMed continuous glucose sensing system or Medtronic MiniMed sensor-enabled pump system.
Warnings Do not use the MiniLink to send glucose readings to the monitor while onboard an aircraft. Disconnect the MiniLink from the sensor while travelling on an aircraft or if interference with other transmitting devices occurs. The sensor should be removed if redness, bleeding, pain, tenderness, irritation, or inflammation develops at insertion site, or if user experiences unexplained fever. Occlusive dressing should be removed if irritation or reaction to the tape develops.
Telecommunications notice This device complies with the United States Federal Communications Commission and international standards for electromagnetic compatibility. For the specific regulations and test results in your area, please contact the Medtronic 24 Hour HelpLine listed on the International Contact Card. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
MiniLink charger The MiniLink transmitter contains a non-replaceable, rechargable battery so you can recharge your MiniLink as needed. Before using your MiniLink for the first time, you should charge the battery fully. To maintain a short re-charging period, charge the MiniLink after each sensor use. While the MiniLink will work more than 14 days without recharging, an empty battery can take up to 2 hours to recharge. Installing a new charger battery 1 Unscrew charger battery cap.
Note: A new AAA battery in the charger may charge the MiniLink over 40 times before it needs to be replaced. Charging the MiniLink 1 Insert the MiniLink into the charger. Line up the MiniLink connector (flat side down) with the charger and push the two components together fully. Note: The charger contains green and red LEDs (lights). 2 When the MiniLink is first connected, the charger’s green LED will blink rapidly for 1-2 seconds as charger powers on.
the charger. A green LED inside the MiniLink will blink for about 5 seconds and then turn off. This confirms that the MiniLink is ready to use. Note: If the green LED inside the MiniLink does not blink, re-connect the MiniLink to the charger for at least one minute. After one minute, remove the MiniLink from the charger and watch for the MiniLink to flash green. Connect to the sensor. Caution: If the MiniLink LED is still lit or flashing, do not connect the MiniLink to the charger.
If the charger AAA battery is low AND the MiniLink battery is bad, the red LED will blink rapidly for 1 second, pause for 1 second, then blink once. After a 2 second pause, the cycle repeats. Call the Medtronic Diabetes 24 Hour HelpLine. DERXW VHF DERXW VHF DERXW VHFV DERXW VHF DERXW VHF Setting up the MiniLink transmitter 1 Find the MiniLink 7-digit serial number on the flat side of the device as shown at right. The serial SN GT2XXXXXXM number starts with “2”.
3 Hold the MiniLink as shown at right. Touch the inserted sensor at back of assembly to prevent movement.. 4 Align the MiniLink connector with the sensor connector. The MiniLink flat underside (with the label) should face the skin. 5 Slide the MiniLink onto the sensor. Make sure it is pushed in firmly.The flexible side arms of the sensor will “click” into notches on the underside of the MiniLink. The MiniLink will flash green for about 10 seconds with a proper connection.
7 After the MiniLink successfully transmits signals to a monitor or pump, you may choose to put an occlusive dressing over the MiniLink and the sensor. Bathing and swimming Once the MiniLink and sensor are connected, they form a water-tight seal to a depth of 8 feet for up to 30 minutes. You can shower and swim without removing them. No occlusive dressing is needed. Disconnecting from sensor 1 Hold the MiniLink as shown, and pinch the flexible side arms of the sensor between thumb and forefinger.
MiniLink tester The tester is used to test the MiniLink and to make sure it is working. Connecting the tester 1 Grasp the MiniLink between the thumb and forefinger. Hold the tester body with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. Align flat side of the tester with flat side of the MiniLink. 2 Plug the tester into the MiniLink. The flexible side arms of the tester will click into notches on the MiniLink underside. The MiniLink will flash green for about 10 seconds when properly connected.
3 Use the pump or glucose sensing monitor to check that the MiniLink is sending a signal (see the pump or monitor user guide). Disconnecting the tester 1 Hold the MiniLink body as shown and pinch the side arms of the tester. 2 With the tester arms pinched, gently pull the MiniLink away from the tester. &$87,21 7R VDYH 0LQL/LQN EDWWHU\ OLIH GR 127 OHDYH VHQVRU RU WHVWHU FRQQHFWHG RQFH \RX NQRZ WKH 0LQL/LQN LV ZRUNLQJ
Cleaning the MiniLink Caution: The charger and tester units are NOT water-tight. Do NOT immerse either in water. For single-patient use 1 Wash your hands thoroughly. 2 Dampen a clean cloth with mild liquid soap and warm water. Wipe the outside of the MiniLink. 3 Rinse the MiniLink under warm tap water but do NOT get water inside the connector. 4 Using an antibacterial hand-sanitizer (available at a local drugstore) on a clean, dry cloth, wipe down the MiniLink.
8 If there is any blood inside the connector, the MiniLink must be discarded. Dispose of the MiniLink according to the local regulations for battery disposal (non-incineration).
