Disposables
The pumps use disposable reservoirs and infusion sets for insulin delivery. Installation instructions for Paradigm
reservoir and infusion sets are provided in chapter 4.
➠ Reservoirs: The 512 pump is intended for use with a 180-unit Paradigm reservoir (MMT-326). The 712 pump is
intended for use with a 300-unit Paradigm reservoir (MMT-332), however it can also use the smaller 180-unit
reservoir as well.
➠ Infusion sets: Medtronic MiniMed provides a variety of Paradigm infusion sets to fit your needs.
Accessories
➠ Meter: Your pump can be used with the optional Paradigm Link™ Blood Glucose Monitor powered by BD Logic™
Technology. You can program your pump to automatically receive your BG reading from this meter.
➠ Remote control: The optional Paradigm remote control can be used with the pump to deliver normal boluses
and suspend the pump from a distant location. (This User Guide provides programming instructions for the
remote control. Refer to the remote control User Guide for operating instructions.)

How to wear your pump
There are a different ways to wear your pump. Medtronic MiniMed has accessories that can hide, protect, and add

WARNING: For your protection the pump has undergone extensive testing to confirm appropriate
operation when used with Paradigm reservoirs and Paradigm infusion sets manufactured or
distributed by Medtronic MiniMed. We recommend using Medtronic MiniMed infusion sets
and reservoirs as we cannot guarantee appropriate operation if the pump is used with
reservoirs or infusion sets offered by third-parties and therefore we are not responsible for
any injury or malfunctioning of the pump that may occur in association with such use.
