User Safety
Indications for Use
The Guardian RT is indicated for continuous or periodic monitoring of glucose levels in the fluid under
the skin, in adults (ages 18 and older) with diabetes mellitus, for the purpose of improving diabetes
management. It alerts if a glucose level falls below, or rises above, preset values. Values are not
intended to be used directly for making therapy adjustments, but rather to provide an indication of when
a finger stick may be required. All therapy adjustments should be based on measurements obtained using
a home glucose monitor and not on Guardian RT values.
The Guardian RT provides real-time glucose values that allow users to track patterns in glucose
concentrations and to possibly identify episodes of low and high blood glucose. It also stores the data so
that it can be analyzed to track patterns. Glucose data can be further downloaded to PC software for
analysis of historical glucose values.
Contraindications
Use of the Guardian RT is not recommended for persons whose impaired vision or hearing does not allow
full recognition of the Guardian RT signals and alarms/alerts.
The Sen-serter is not indicated for use with product other than the Glucose Sensor. Medtronic MiniMed
cannot guarantee this product’s safety and/or efficacy if other sets are used.
