Medtronic Minimed 640G insulin pump.  

Insulin is delivered from a cartridge held inside the pump. The pump is  pre-
programmed to deliver insulin continuously to keep the blood glucose constant. 
When any carbohydrates are eaten the carbohydrate amount needs  to be entered 
into the handset by the user/carer. The handset will then advise the bolus dose of 
insulin to be delivered. 

It is powered by an AA battery. 

Navigating the Minimed 640G Insulin Pump  

The pump is attached to a thin flexible tube – the infusion set - which is inserted into 
the skin of the abdomen or buttock via a fine plastic tube called a cannula. The 
cannula is held in place by an adhesive dressing.
