CHAPTER 1 Description of the Medtronic
MiniMed 2007C Implantable
Insulin Pump System
Introduction
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System brings
together sophisticated new technologies to provide continuous intraperi-
toneal insulin therapy for patients with Insulin Dependent Diabetes Melli-
tus (IDDM). The development of the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C
Implantable Insulin Pump System is the result of years of cooperative
research and development between MiniMed and:
The Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory.
U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space
Flight Center. U.S. National Institutes of Health.
This manual is intended for use by the physician, surgeon, nurse specialist
and all other members of the healthcare team who care for patients with
the Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System.
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System uses
only special insulin formulations. The only insulin available today for use
in the Pump is HOE 21 PH U-400, manufactured by Aventis.
