The Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm 522/522K/722/722K pumps use a glucose sensor to continuously monitor
your glucose levels. The 522/522K/722/722K pumps use the same algorithm as the Guardian RT
®
. The
Guardian RT was evaluated in two clinical studies and the following information in this section describes the
findings. The remainder of this section discusses the results of this pivotal study, and uses the term Guardian
RT.
NOTE: The Guardian RT is not an abbreviation for the Guardian REAL-Time CGM System. The Guardian
RT is a continuous glucose monitoring system that was developed before the Guardian REAL-Time CGM
System. The Guardian RT was originally named TGMS II, and later renamed Guardian RT.

The Medtronic Guardian RT uses a glucose sensor to continuously monitor your glucose levels. The Guardian
RT sensor is calibrated using your home blood glucose meter. Once calibrated, the Guardian RT reports
glucose values every five minutes. These values were compared to reference laboratory blood glucose
measurements to check the Guardian RT’s performance characteristics in two clinical studies.

Although presentations to characterize performance of the Guardian RT are given below, there is no
commonly accepted statistical approach for capturing the performance of continuous glucose monitors such
as the Guardian RT. Performance may be best characterized by viewing graphs called time-elapsed plots. In
these plots, the values from Guardian RT for one subject over time are overlaid with values at the same time
from the glucose reference method. Three representative time-elapsed plots are shown at the end of this
section of sensors that exhibited excellent performance, average performance and poor performance.
