Indications
The Paradigm 554/754 pump systems are indicated for the continuous delivery of insulin, at set and variable
rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. In addition, the pump system is
indicated for continuous or periodic monitoring of glucose levels in the fluid under the skin, and possible low

can be analyzed to track patterns and improve diabetes management. Pump history can be downloaded to
a computer for analysis of historical glucose values.
