January 8, 2024- Medtronic announced the MiniMed™ 780G system with Simplera Sync™, a disposable, all-in-one continuous glucose monitor (CGM) requiring no fingersticks or overtape, for diabetes. Simplera Sync™ features an improved user experience with a simple, two-step insertion process and is half the size of previous Medtronic sensors.
The MiniMed™ 780G system is Medtronic’s most advanced insulin delivery system, automatically adjusting and correcting glucose levels every 5 minutes. It’s the world’s only system with a Meal Detection™ feature that is designed to reduce post-meal hyperglycemia when users occasionally forget to give themselves insulin or underestimate the number of carbs in their snacks or meal.
The MiniMed™ 780G system with Simplera Sync™ sensor is indicated for ages 7+ and compatible with iOS and Android. Simplera Sync™ sensor is not yet approved by the FDA, and is limited to investigational use in the U.S.
