MiniMed FlexTM is the smallest, phone-controlled insulin pump system with SmartGuardTM technology.
More insulin. Fewer changes. Less insulin waste.
There are times when you'll want to disconnect your pump - whether you're playing sports, getting dressed for a special event, or simply taking a break. MiniMed Flex allows you to disconnect from your infusion site and reconnect whenever you're ready. No new insertions.
With a 300-unit reservoir capacity and up to 7 days of infusion set wear, MiniMed Flex is designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Size and weight
Compatible insulin
The MiniMed Flex system is intended for use with the following compatible U-100 insulins:
Waterproof capabilities
The MiniMed Flex pump is waterproof up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) for 1 hour and 45 minutes (105 minutes) if you choose to stay connected while in water.
Environmental conditions
The FlexTM 780G pump system is designed to withstand most conditions encountered in your daily life. Pump operating temperature range is from 41 °F to 93 °F (5 °C to 34 °C). Pump storage temperature range is from -4° F (-20° C) to 122° F (50° C). Storing the pump in temperatures outside of this range can damage the pump.
Altitude range
Bolus delivery
The pump delivers small doses of insulin. The smallest dose of insulin is 0.05 units.
Increments
Max bolus 25 units
Basal rate delivery
Minimum basal insulin increment: 0.050 units/hour.
Above 0.050, increments can be set in 0.025-unit increments (e.g., 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, etc.).
Max basal 15 units
Battery and power
The pump uses a wall charger. It takes approximately 30 minutes for a full charge, and a full charge will last at least 7 days.
Warranty
Insulin pump: 4 years standard. Some insurances allow up to 5 years (see your insurance details to confirm).

There are many ways to wear your insulin pump. You can attach your pump to your waistband or belt, protect it in your pocket, or even clip it under clothing.
How is MiniMed Flex different from a patch pump?
MiniMed Flex combines the flexibility of a disconnectable infusion set with the benefits of an automated pump system.
Unlike a patch pump, which is worn directly on the body and replaced as a single unit, MiniMed Flex lets you disconnect from your infusion site when needed — such as for sports, swimming, or special occasions — and reconnect without replacing the infusion set or wasting insulin.
MiniMed Flex is an automated insulin delivery system that automatically adjusts basal insulin and delivers correction boluses up to every 5 minutes when being used in SmartGuardTM mode. You only need to let the system know when you are eating by bolusing for meals.
MiniMed Flex uses a reservoir that hold up to 300 units of insulin.
The MiniMed Flex pump is designed so you don't need a screen. Instead you will use the MiniMed app on your compatible phone or App Manager CGM Receiver to view your data and bolus, while the pump still keeps you informed with lights, sounds, and buttons.
A full charge takes about 30 minutes and lasts 7 days. You can charge MiniMed Flex while wearing it or disconnect while it charges. The charging base, USB-C cable and wall plug are included in your pump kit.
The MiniMed Flex pump is waterproof up to 8 feet for 1 hour and 45 minutes (105 minutes).
You’ll get alerts through lights and sounds on the pump and on the the MiniMed™ app. The app shows you full alert details and lets you take action, if needed.
Yes. You can deliver meal and correction boluses from the MiniMedTM app on your phone (and without taking out your pump).
If you don’t have a compatible phone, you can purchase App Manager CGM Receiver to use the MiniMed Flex system. The App Manager CGM Receiver is device that comes with the MiniMed app already installed and is used to manager your diabetes therapy with MiniMed systems.
If the pump loses connection to the MiniMed app for whatever reason, it’ll continue to deliver insulin based on the settings programmed through the MiniMed app. Meaning, if you’re in SmartGuardTM mode, it’ll continue to use the SmartGuardTM algorithm, as long as the sensor is still connected to the pump. However, you will need to connect back to the app in order to give a bolus or clear alerts.
It is always recommended to have a back-up plan in place should something happen to your pump or MiniMed app.
Your pump and MiniMed app talk to each other through Bluetooth and not through WiFi or a cellular connection. As long as your Bluetooth is on, including when in Airplane Mode, your pump and appwill continue to talk to each other.
You will need WiFi or a cellular connection to update the app, complete a pump software update or upload information to CareLink.
The pump, sensor and compatible phone should stay within 10 feet of each other to help prevent losing connection. The app should always be kept open on your phone and running in the background.
MiniMed Flex is cleared to work with the Simplera SyncTM sensor and all of our infusion set options, including the 7-day ExtendedTM infusion set. We are working on making the pump work with the other sensor options that we offer and will share timelines as soon as we can.

Important Safety Information: MiniMed FlexTM system with SmartGuardTM technology with Simplera SyncTM sensor and Instinct sensor
The MiniMed FlexTM system is intended for the continuous delivery of basal insulin at selectable rates, and the administration of insulin boluses at selectable rates for the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons 7 years of age and older, and of type 2 diabetes mellitus in persons 18 years of age and older requiring insulin. The system is also intended to continuously monitor glucose values in the fluid under the skin.
The MiniMed FlexTM system includes SmartGuardTM technology, which can be programmed to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor glucose values and can suspend delivery of insulin when the SG value falls below or is predicted to fall below predefined threshold values. The system is intended for use with connected sensors, including the Simplera SyncTM sensor and integrated continuous glucose monitors, including the Instinct sensor, each of which has different wear-time, form factor, insertion site, and other distinguishing characteristics that relate to sensor performance. Consult the appropriate sensor user guide when using the system. Discuss treatment decisions with your HCP.
WARNING: Do not use the SmartGuardTM feature for people who require less than 8 units or more than 250 units of total daily insulin per day. A total daily dose of at least 8 units, but no more than 250 units, is required to operate in the SmartGuardTM feature.
WARNING: Do not use the MiniMedTM Flex system until appropriate training has been received from a healthcare professional. Training is essential to ensure the safe use of the MiniMedTM Flex system.
WARNING: Do not use SG values to make treatment decisions, including delivering a bolus, while the pump is in Manual Mode. When the SmartGuardTM feature is active and you are no longer in Manual Mode, the pump uses an SG value, when available, to calculate a bolus amount. However, if your symptoms do not match the SG value, use a blood glucose (BG) meter to confirm the SG value. Failure to confirm glucose levels when your symptoms do not match the SG value can result in the infusion of too much or too little insulin, which may cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Pump therapy is not recommended for people whose vision or hearing does not allow for the recognition of pump signals, alerts, or alarms. The safety of the MiniMed FlexTM system has not been studied in pregnant women or in persons using other anti-hyperglycemic therapies that do not include insulin. For complete details of the system, including user guides and important safety information such as indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions associated with system and its components, see https://bit.ly/MiniMedRisks.
