What makes Medtronic Guardian 4 Sensor for the MiniMed different
The Guardian 4 sensor is the current-generation CGM sensor designed specifically to integrate with Medtronic's MiniMed 780G automated insulin delivery (AID) system — a closed-loop pump-and-sensor pairing that automatically adjusts basal insulin delivery and gives correction boluses based on the real-time glucose trend. Unlike standalone CGMs that just display data, the Guardian 4 sensor is the closed-loop input that drives the 780G's algorithm. This is the technology most Australian endocrinologists currently recommend for adults and children with type 1 diabetes seeking the tightest reasonable glycaemic control without manual sensor calibration.
Who is it for?
- Adults and children with type 1 diabetes who use (or are about to start) the Medtronic MiniMed 780G insulin pump
- Users transitioning from manual fingerstick monitoring to continuous glucose monitoring
- Pregnant women with insulin-treated diabetes (under their endocrinologist's direction)
- NDSS-registered users seeking subsidised access to CGM technology
What's in the pack
5 × Guardian 4 CGM sensors, each in a sterile pouch with an integrated inserter. Each sensor is single-use for up to 7 days of wear.
Pharmacist usage tip
Insert a new sensor every 7 days following the User Guide. Rotate insertion sites between the upper arm, abdomen and buttock to reduce skin irritation. The 780G pump must be paired with the sensor transmitter — not all Medtronic pumps are 780G-compatible, so check your current pump model with your CDE before purchasing replacement sensors.
Intended purpose
Subcutaneous continuous-glucose-monitor (CGM) sensor for use with the Medtronic MiniMed 780G automated insulin-delivery system in people with diabetes who require insulin therapy. Each sensor is worn for up to 7 days.
