Meet the newest member of the family: The MiniMed 630G system
Great news, everyone! Today I’m thrilled to share that the FDA has approved the MiniMedTM 630G system with SmartGuard™ technology. This advanced diabetes system provides better glucose control[i], protective action and personalized management so you can focus less on managing highs and lows and more on what matters most to you –whether that’s time with your loved ones, pursuing a big career goal, traveling the world or all of the above!
What’s so exciting about the MiniMedTM 630G system? Let’s find out.
SmartGuardTM technology
MiniMedTM 630G is a new insulin pump combined with our EnliteTM sensor. The system includes SmartGuardTM, our exclusive technology that takes action to reduce the risk of diabetes complications ii. The system automatically stops delivering insulin when your sensor glucose hits a preset low level and you don’t respond to the alarm. SmartGuardTM is available in both MiniMedTM 630G and MiniMedTM 530G systems (you may recognize this as Threshold Suspend.)
A new, improved pump design
The MiniMedTM 630G system also has a brand new (and improved) pump design with many more personalization options to make the system more convenient and tailored to how you manage your diabetes. You can customize alerts and alarms and we’ve introduced more user-friendly menus. The new system also includes that full-color screen and waterproofing you’ve been asking us for! This new design incorporated extensive patient feedback and user testing from people with diabetes, so we can’t wait to hear what you think.
A new meter
The MiniMedTM 630G system exclusively uses the CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 Meter to provide highly accurate blood glucose testing and to automatically transmit blood glucose results into the pump to eliminate manual entry errors when using the Bolus Wizard® calculator or calibrating the sensor. It’s similar to the CONTOUR NEXT LINK meter that comes with our MiniMedTM 530G system and is the only meter FDA approved for use with the new system. It also allows you to discreetly give a manual or a pre-set bolus of insulin remotely from the meter – another feature that many of you have told us would be beneficial to you.
Just one more step
Here at Medtronic Diabetes, our vision is to transform diabetes care, together for greater freedom and better health. This new system demonstrates Medtronic’s focus on making diabetes devices more convenient and simple to use as well as delivering better clinical outcomes. We’re certainly not done yet. Innovation is a journey and we’re constantly working on improving the products we have today as well developing new ones. In the meantime, we can’t wait to hear what you think of this latest step to help you live your exceptional life.
Part of a family
The MiniMedTM 630G system joins our family of diabetes management products, including our MiniMedTM 530G system which we will continue to provide. The MiniMedTM 530G system is popular for its ability to be used with MiniMedTM Connect mobile accessory, which allows people with diabetes to discreetly view CGM data on their smartphones as well as remote monitoring for their care partners. So, we’re offering both products to meet the different lifestyle needs of people with diabetes. Like the MiniMedTM 530G system, the MiniMedTM 630G system is approved for people age 16 and older. We expect to start shipping in a few weeks and we’ll be sure to keep our community updated. To learn more about the product in the meantime, visit our website.

There are many things one can add to expand. Why people are not thinking about introducing something that is stable atleast at one thing. First pump uses triple A batt now pump uses simple batt and the design is more heavier. I m not concerned with the menu and giving shots im concerned mainly with the dose and calculations . why cant it be simple and more sophisticated design which can evolve into something far more better expect to just add a remote control to it. people who are diabetic don't think of such things im sure every one think of a pump that delivers without using more hand work. A pump that will detect sugar level in blood and calculate dose accordingly and send in , it wil stop if low occurs and starts if normal. 3 steps is all required for a perfect pump. If we see any model of minimed they work simple without using sensors. and without sensor all pumps are just doing 1 unit every hour and nothing much . 1 pump is so costly that not everyone can buy it. and on top of it there are many other things which a diabetic can add including medical expenses , cost of pump related peripherals etc etc .
I bought a case for mini med 630g. Your website said the one I ordered would fit all minded pumps but it didn't fit the 630g. Could get no help from customer service on which one would fit the 630g.
I'm sorry to hear this, Leigh. Have you spoken with our Customer Support team to discuss an exchange? We'd be happy to look into this for you and see how we can help. Please give our teammates a call at 800.646.4633, option 4 and follow the prompts for return and exchange.
What is the RAdio Frequency for the 640G enlite sensor’s transmitter?
Thanks for reaching out, Matt. I don't have this information, as we are the US team, but please check here http://bit.ly/1ce3pEc for your local office, who'd be happy to look into this for you.
Has this new pump and meter and CGM getting approval form Medicare to use our phone to scan or is it still your peoduct to scan.
Hi there, Jan. Currently, our insulin pump systems display data on the pump only, but we are working on connectivity features for our pumps. We'll be sure to share updates as they become available.
