Indications for Use
Model 512 Insulin Pump: The Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm Model 512 Insulin Pump is indicated for the continuous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. BD Paradigm Link Glucose Monitor: The BD Paradigm Link Blood Glucose Monitor is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood. It is intended for use by people with diabetes mellitus in the home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and is not intended for use on neonates. The BD Paradigm Link Blood Glucose Monitor is specifically indicated for the quantitative measurement of glucose in whole blood samples obtained from the fingertip. Model 512 Insulin Pump and BD Paradigm Link Glucose Monitor: When used together, the BD Paradigm Link Glucose Monitor can automatically telemeter glucose values to the Model 512 Insulin Pump using radio frequency communication. The glucose value received by the Model 512 Insulin Pump is used as the default glucose value by the pump's Bolus Wizard feature if the Bolus Wizard is used within 12 minutes of the glucose value transmission. The BD Paradigm Link Glucose Monitor can also serve as a radio frequency interface to allow communication between the Model 512 Insulin Pump and a personal computer running the appropriate Medtronic MiniMed communications software.
Device Story
Paradigm Model 512 is an ambulatory, battery-operated, rate-programmable microinfusion pump for continuous subcutaneous insulin delivery. It delivers basal profiles and bolus amounts via a motor-driven reservoir. BD Paradigm Link Glucose Monitor measures capillary blood glucose (0.3 µL sample, 5-second result). The meter transmits glucose values to the pump via radio frequency (RF) telemetry. The pump's 'Bolus Wizard' feature uses the received glucose value as a default if used within 12 minutes. The meter also acts as an RF interface for data transfer between the pump and a PC running Medtronic software. Used by patients in home settings; pump requires physician prescription. Benefits include automated data transfer to reduce manual entry errors and facilitate diabetes management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Ambulatory microinfusion pump (battery-operated, motor-driven) and in-vitro diagnostic glucose meter. Features RF telemetry for device-to-device communication and PC interface. Software-controlled insulin delivery with Bolus Wizard functionality. Materials and basic design consistent with predicate devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for persons with diabetes mellitus requiring insulin (pump) and for home use by people with diabetes to monitor glucose control (meter). Meter not for neonates, diagnosis, or screening. Meter indicated for fingertip capillary blood samples.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.
