Meet MiniMed FlexTM
A fully connected, app-controlled pump and our smallest insulin pump yet. The MiniMed FlexTM system automatically adjust and corrects glucose levels continuously through the day and night for people living with diabetes.◊,1
Mealtimes – without the mental math.
Meal DetectionTM tech‡ helps to keep glucose levels in range — even if they’re not a perfect carb counter or sometimes forget to bolus.§,◊,¶
Safely treats to a low glucose target of 100 mg/dL without increasing hypoglycemia when using recommended settings.◊,#.
Use of recommended settings when using the SmartGuardTM feature yields the highest Time in Range.
80% Time in Range seen worldwide¶
Recommended settings of 100 mg/dL and 2 hr AIT have shown consistent results globally.2 Real-world results∆ in adults showed patients achieved up to 80% Time in Range with recommended settings¶ without increasing hypoglycemia.3

Life with flexibility for people with diabetes
More time for sleep
Fewer beeps and alarms with up to 90.7% overnight Time in Range∆,∞,#,7 as seen in real world results.
No technology experience? No problem!
79.8% Time in Range achieved for people with T2D despite 63% of participants in the T2D pivotal trial not having prior technology experience including either an insulin pump or CGM system.7
In phase 2, participants achieved 84.9% TIR.∆,#,7
Fewer changes. More freedom
Using the ExtendedTM Infusion set and Simplera SyncTM sensor plan for weekly changes vs. 3-4 per week with other AID systems.‡‡
Technical specifications
Trusted insulin automation, now in a more compact size.
Powered by the same proven algorithm within the MiniMedTM 780G system that helps protect against highs without increasing lows, MiniMed Flex offers a small, sleek design controlled from an app.

† Due to inherent analysis limitations, caution is advised when attempting to extrapolate these results to new patients (and different populations and ages). There could be significant differences. Study weaknesses include a relatively small sample size and exclusion criteria for those with limited carb counting skills.
‡ Refers to auto correct, which provides bolus assistance. Can deliver all auto correction doses automatically without user interaction, feature can be turned on and off.
§ Taking a bolus 15 - 20 minutes before a meal helps to keep blood sugar levels under control after eating.
◊ Refers to SmartGuardTM feature. Individual results may vary.
¶ Carb entry still required.
# The SmartGuardTM feature in the MiniMed Flex is equivalent to the MiniMed 780G system.
Δ Due to inherent real-world data limitations, caution is advised when attempting to extrapolate these results to new patients. There could be significant differences.
∞ Overnight period: 12:00 A.M. - 6:00 A.M. Number of users with ≥10 days of sensor glucose data; Optimal settings are glucose target at 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) and Active Insulin Time (AIT) at 2 hours and used >95% of the time.

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://link.minimed.com/Risks.
