Reservoirs

The reservoir holds insulin inside your insulin pump. When used with Medtronic infusion sets, the Paradigm® connection provides a maintenance free connection between the MiniMed Paradigm® infusion set and reservoir with safety benefits such as:

• Venting - maintains a proper pressurized environment and reduces blockage risks. The venting system for the MiniMed Paradigm® pump is in the connection which means no maintenance or changing O rings. New venting is provided with each set change.
• No Extra Caps - or pieces are needed to connect the tubing to the reservoir. Our connections are integrated with the tubing.
• Secure child lock mechanism - to prevent tampering causing an accidental removal of the reservoir from the pump while in use.

Medtronic offers a Choice of two reservoir capacities

• Insulin Pump Model 522: 176 units.
• Insulin Pump Model 722: 176 units or up to 300 units.

FAQ

• How often should I change my reservoir?

  You should change your reservoir when you change your infusion set, at least every 3 days. Longer use of an insulin reservoir may affect both the insulin potency, or the consistency of delivery.
