Get to know the system

As soon as your system arrives, it’s a great idea to start getting familiar with it. 

Important: Don’t enter any insulin settings into your system yet. Your trainer will help you with setup during training.
 

System components

MiniMedTM app

This is your all-in-one screen and controller for the MiniMed FlexTM pump.

MiniMed FlexTM insulin pump

This screenless pump delivers insulin into your body through the infusion set.

Simplera SyncTM sensor

An all-in-one continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that measures glucose in the fluid under your skin and sends sensor glucose values to the pump.

See how to insert the Simplera Sync sensor

Reservoir and infusion set

The reservoir gets filled with insulin and placed into the pump. It connects to the tubing of the infusion set which delivers insulin from your pump into your body through a cannula. You will need a vial of rapid‑acting or ultra‑rapid insulin for training. Contact your healthcare professional for a prescription.

Note: Your infusion set may look different.

Prepare for training

Get ready for training! A MiniMed trainer will guide you through your training. They’ll connect with you directly to get everything started. In the meantime, check out these resources.

Reminder: Don’t enter any insulin settings into your system until your trainer walks you through it. This helps keep you safe and ensures your system is set up correctly.  

Download the MiniMedTM Simulator app and start practicing!
