Welcome to iPro2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
Thank you for your trust in Medtronic products and services. We hope you will find iPro2 to be the simplest and most convenient CGM product that you have ever used.
• This User Guide provides the information that you need for setting up and using the iPro2 CGM system, including CareLink iPro Therapy Management Software for Diabetes.
• You will find a page like this at the beginning of each chapter. This page gives you a basic overview of that chapter, and the steps you will take to complete each task.
• You will also see a “Key Notes” area on each chapter overview page. These are the important points for you to remember from that chapter.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Introduction 1
iPro2 system
iPro2 iPro2 Dock Dock USB
Cable wall-powered adapter cleaning plug
These are the components of the iPro2 CGM system:
• iPro®2 digital recorder, MMT-7741 (iPro2)
The iPro2 collects and stores data from a glucose sensor. The data can be uploaded into CareLink iPro® Therapy Management Software for Diabetes (CareLink iPro, MMT-7340), to generate reports and store the data. The iPro2 can collect up to seven 24-hour periods of data, after which it shuts off automatically.
The iPro2 has an internal green light. This light flashes when you connect the iPro2 to an inserted glucose sensor. It will only flash if the iPro2 detects an adequately hydrated sensor, is fully charged, and does not already contain any data.
The iPro2 can be used 60 times. Keep track of iPro2 uses by entering each use on the Clinic
Equipment Log. Discard the iPro2 after 60 uses. If you continue to use the iPro2 beyond 60 times, the disinfection process may damage the device.
• iPro®2 Docking Station, MMT-7742 (Dock)
The Dock has two main functions: charging the iPro2 and uploading data from the iPro2 to
CareLink iPro. The Dock has three lights to provide status information. The white Dock power light indicates whether power is supplied to the Dock. When you connect the iPro2 to the Dock, the green charging light and the red warning light indicate the status of the iPro2. If the green charging light is on, the iPro2 is 100% ready to use.
In this User Guide, you will see the three Dock lights described using the following conventions.
Each light is always either off, on, or flashing.
!!

Flashing iPro2 CGM User Guide Introduction 2
• iPro®2 Dock USB cable (refer to MMT-7747 if re-ordering)
The small end of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable connects to the Dock. The other end of the cable connects to a USB port on a computer, so that you can upload data into CareLink iPro® and charge the iPro2. You can also connect the USB cable to a wall-powered adapter.
• Wall-powered adapter (refer to MMT-7747 if re-ordering)
The wall-powered adapter lets you charge the iPro2 by connecting the Dock to a regular electrical socket, instead of a computer.
• Three (3) iPro®2 Cleaning Plugs, MMT-7744 (cleaning plug)
The cleaning plugs provide a watertight seal to protect the connector pins on the iPro2. Always use a cleaning plug when cleaning and disinfecting the iPro2.
Do not clean the o-rings on the cleaning plug, as this can damage the o-rings.
The cleaning plug can be used to clean the iPro2 30 times. Keep track of cleaning plug uses and discard the cleaning plug after 30 uses. If you continue to use the cleaning plug beyond 30 times, the iPro2 connector pins could be damaged, because the cleaning plug cannot continue to provide a watertight seal.
Keep only one unwrapped cleaning plug at hand, so that you can keep track of its use and will know when to unwrap a new cleaning plug.
To order more cleaning plugs, contact your local representative or call Medtronic Diabetes at 800
843 6687.
You will also need the following:
• Sen-serter®, MMT-7500
• Glucose sensor, MMT-7002 or MMT-7003
• A computer with Internet access to CareLink iPro, MMT-7340 ( http://www.carelinkipro.com
)
• Patient Log Sheet
• Patient Consent Form
• Patient Instructions Sheet
• Clinic Equipment Log Sheet
• Clinic Checklist (for patient setup and for uploading iPro2 data and printing reports)
• Occlusive adhesive dressing iPro2 CGM User Guide Introduction 3
User safety
This section includes important safety information such as indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
Indications for use
This iPro2 digital recorder is intended to continuously record interstitial glucose levels in persons with diabetes mellitus. This information is intended to supplement, not replace, blood glucose information obtained using standard home glucose monitoring devices. The information collected by the iPro2 digital recorder may be uploaded to a computer (with Internet access) and reviewed by healthcare professionals. The information may allow identification of patterns of glucose-level excursions above and below a desired range, facilitating therapy adjustments, which may minimize these excursions.
This iPro2 system:
• is intended for prescription use only.
• does not allow data to be made available directly to patients in real time.
• provides data that will be available for review by physicians after the recording interval (72 hours).
• is intended for occasional rather than everyday use.
• is to be used only as a supplement to, and not a replacement for, standard invasive measurement.
Contraindications
None known.
Warnings
• This product contains small parts and may pose a choking hazard for young children.
• The glucose sensor should be removed if redness, bleeding, pain, tenderness, irritation, or inflammation develops at the sensor insertion site, or if the patient experiences unexplained fever.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Introduction 4
• An optional occlusive adhesive dressing should be removed if irritation or reaction to the tape develops.
• The glucose sensor may create special needs regarding your patients' medical conditions or medications. Healthcare professionals should discuss this with their patients before they use the glucose sensor.
• Do not modify this product, as modification could result in a safety hazard.
Precautions
• Do not expose the iPro2 to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment, x-ray equipment,
Computed Tomography (CT) scanners, Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), or other devices that generate strong magnetic fields or ionizing radiation. If the iPro2 is inadvertently exposed to a strong magnetic field, discontinue use and call the 24 Hour HelpLine.
• If performing multiple iPro2 studies on the same patient, establish a rotation schedule for choosing new sensor sites.
• Avoid inserting a sensor in areas on the body that are constrained by clothing, have scar tissue, or are subject to rigorous movement during exercise.
• Wait 15 minutes after sensor insertion before connecting the iPro2.
Make sure that the sensor insertion site is not bleeding before connection. If you find blood on top of the sensor adhesive, do not connect the iPro2. This is to prevent body fluids from getting into the iPro2 connector opening. If blood gets inside the iPro2's connector opening, it may not be properly cleaned and disinfected without damaging the connector pins. So the iPro2 will have to be discarded.
If bleeding occurs, apply steady pressure with a sterile gauze or cloth at the insertion site until bleeding stops. After bleeding stops, attach the iPro2 to the sensor.
If bleeding persists after three minutes, remove the sensor and discard. Insert a new sensor in a different location.
• If body fluid comes into contact with the cleaning plug's connector or the Dock's connector, the contaminated device must be discarded to prevent contamination of the iPro2.
• Do not allow fluids (including water, cleaning fluids, and disinfectants) on the iPro2's connector opening or connector pins. Fluids can cause the connector pins to corrode and may affect the iPro2's performance.
• The iPro2 must be disinfected after every use on a patient. Users must adhere to universal precautions when handling or using this device. For more information, refer to "Guideline for
Isolation Precautions: Preventing Transmission of Infectious Agents in Healthcare Settings 2007." www.cdc.gov/hicpac/2007ip/2007isolationprecautions iPro2 CGM User Guide Introduction 5

for details.
Computers running CareLink iPro must also be compliant with IEC 60950-1 or an equivalent safety standard.
Compliance information
The iPro2 and Dock comply with the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and international standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility. For the specific regulations and test results for your area, please contact your local representative.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Introduction 7
These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1
These devices may not cause harmful interference.
2
These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
These standards are designed to provide reasonable protection against excessive radio frequency interference and prevent undesirable operation of the device from unwanted electromagnetic interference.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Introduction 8
Interference from wireless devices
Common wireless consumer devices, such as cellular (mobile) phones or cordless phones, may disrupt communication during iPro2 uploads to the computer. It is likely that other wireless devices using similar frequency ranges will have a similar effect. This interference, however, will not cause any incorrect data to be sent, and will not cause any harm to your iPro2 system.
To reduce the likelihood of data communication errors, you should relocate either the wireless device or the iPro2 system devices. Testing conducted with several different cellular phones suggests that interference will not be a problem if the phone is at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the iPro2 system devices.

Create user accounts
Each staff member who might upload data from an iPro2 or a blood glucose meter, enter Logbook data, or review or print reports, will need a CareLink iPro user account.
iPro2 CGM User Guide One-time CareLink iPro software and computer setup 16
Any user with administrative privileges, also known as an Admin user, can add and delete user accounts. An Admin user can also access a user account to change the password or other information in the user account.
It is a good idea to give administrative privileges to at least two users. Having two Admin users means that the clinic does not have to rely on only one person for things like setting up new user accounts, or removing users when they no longer need access. As staff changes at a clinic, make sure that two or more staff members have administrative privileges.

When you are finished, click Save.
The clinic settings take effect for all new patients added to the system after you change the settings. Previously added patients and previously generated reports are not affected.
For more details about how to set different report settings for a particular patient, see
General Report Settings
The General Report Settings determine how glucose and time information will be displayed in patient reports.
• Glucose Target Range fields: Select a glucose target range to use in the reports.
• Glucose Units: Select the appropriate units for reporting glucose amounts (mg/dL or mmol/L).
• Time Display: Select 12 hour or 24 hour time display format.
Overlay by Meal Report Settings
The Glucose Target Range fields specify a Before Meal and After Meal glucose target range for each of the three meal periods. The overnight periods of Evening and Sleeping contain a single target range. You may enter a high value and low value for a target range according to the following rules.
• If you have selected mg/dL as the Glucose Units:
The format for entering the low value for the target range is xxx (for example, 123). The low value must be at least 40 and must be at least 2 mg/dL below the high value.
The format for entering the high value for the target range is xxx (for example, 123). The range can be from 60 to 300.
• If you have selected mmol/L as the Glucose Units: iPro2 CGM User Guide One-time CareLink iPro software and computer setup 18
The format for entering the low value for the target range is xx.x (for example, 12.3). The low value must be at least 2.2 and must be at least 0.01 mmol/L below the high value.
The format for entering the high value for the target range is xx.x (for example, 12.3). The range can be from 3.3 to 16.6.
Time periods are used to identify which meal to associate with each meal marker. For example, if the breakfast time period is set from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and lunch is set from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., then a meal marker entered for 9:30 a.m. would be interpreted as a breakfast marker, and a meal marker entered for 12:30 p.m. would be interpreted as a lunch marker.
The duration of each period must be at least 0.5 hours. The end time of a period can be different from the start time of the next period, so gaps between periods may exist. The one exception to this rule is that the end of Evening must be the same as the start of Sleeping.
A post-meal analysis is used to generate statistics from data collected following a meal. The Post-
Meal Analysis window can extend up to 4.0 hours after a meal event. The duration of the analysis window must be at least 0.5 hours. The start time can range from 0.0 to 3.5 and the end time can range from 0.5 to 4.0.

iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 25
Preparing for study
Before the patient arrives in your office, make sure that all the necessary equipment and supplies are available and ready.
Materials needed for patient setup:
• Cleaning plug
• Alcohol swabs
• Gloves
• Sen-serter
• Glucose sensor
• Sharps container
• iPro2, charged and disinfected. The green charging light on the Dock must be on (not flashing) before you remove the iPro2 from the Dock.
• Patient Log Sheets
• Patient Consent Form
• Patient Instructions
• Clinic Equipment Log
• Occlusive adhesive dressing
• Optional: Clinic Checklist
NOTE: Use universal precautions when handling the sensor and iPro2.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 26
Wiping the iPro2 with alcohol before a patient study
The iPro2 is intended for multiple patient use. Follow this procedure before each patient use.
1
While wearing gloves, attach the cleaning plug to the iPro2 to make sure that fluids do not contact the iPro2's connector opening. Fluids can cause the connector pins to corrode and affect the iPro2's performance.
CAUTION: Do not twist the cleaning plug while it is attached to the iPro2. This will damage the iPro2.
2
Wipe the iPro2 with an alcohol swab or rinse with alcohol.
3
Disconnect the cleaning plug from the iPro2 by gently squeezing the arms of the cleaning plug.
CAUTION: The o-rings on the cleaning plug have lubricant to help make a watertight seal with the iPro2. This lubricant may wear off after approximately 30 uses. At that time, the cleaning plug must be discarded. Keep only one unwrapped cleaning plug at hand, so that you can keep track of its use and will know when to unwrap a new cleaning plug.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 27
Tips for a successful patient study
• Keep the sensor hydrated and fully inserted throughout the study:
Make sure to follow the sensor insertion instructions carefully.
Choose a good sensor insertion site.
Use the proper angle for insertion.
Apply an adhesive dressing over the sensor and iPro2.
• If you see gaps in sensor data, it could be caused by any of the following reasons:
The sensor was partially removed during the study, which means that no data was being collected for that period of time.
The iPro2 lost its connection with the sensor. If the iPro2 is disconnected from the sensor and then reconnected during the study, it will continue recording. However, there will be a gap in the sensor data. The length of the gap depends on how long the iPro2 was disconnected.
The sensor was not continuously hydrated while connected to the body. It is possible for the sensor to lose hydration and then regain it, even if it does not pull out.
CareLink iPro does not have good BG meter readings within 12 hours of each other to calibrate all of the sensor data.
• Emphasize to the patient, ideally by using a Patient Instructions Sheet, the importance of following instructions for blood glucose testing throughout the study. Patients should complete at least four BG meter readings per day to avoid data gaps. If a patient does not record accurate BG meter readings frequently enough, CareLink iPro will not have enough BG meter readings to fully calibrate the sensor data. This can cause gaps in data on the patient's reports.
CareLink iPro needs at least one BG meter reading within an expected range every 12 hours.
Erroneous BG meter readings may be ignored by CareLink iPro and may stop the sensor plot until the next good BG meter reading.
• Make sure that your patient tests blood glucose at least one hour after the iPro2 is connected to the sensor. The iPro2 takes one hour to start up a sensor. If the patient does the first BG meter reading too soon, sensor data will not be available for calibration. Therefore, the sensor trace in the reports will begin at the time of the next BG meter reading. This will be apparent in CareLink reports because the data will begin later than you expect.
• Make sure that the patient does another BG meter reading two hours after the first one. This BG meter reading is a backup, in case the first BG meter reading was a few minutes too early.
• Mid-study upload: Uploading sensor data from an iPro2 clears the data from the iPro2. The first upload will be shown as its own study in CareLink iPro. When the iPro2 is reconnected to the sensor, it will begin the one-hour start up again and start a new study, assuming that it also has enough charge to start a new study. You cannot combine two separate uploads into one set of reports in CareLink iPro.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 28
• Do not change the sensor during the study. The iPro2 will keep recording, but the values on the second sensor will vary widely for many hours because the iPro2 will not properly start the second sensor. For the best results, upload data after each sensor use.
Preparation for sensor insertion
1
Ask your patient about sleeping position and about his or her normal daily routine. Does the patient exercise or do a lot of bending or lifting at work? What kind of clothing does the patient normally wear? Are there other activities that could disturb a sensor site, such as prolonged sitting in a driving position in a car? Choose a site that will be protected.
2
Wash your hands thoroughly.
3
Put on gloves.
4
Ask the patient to stand.
5
Clean the insertion site with alcohol and allow to air dry.
NOTE: Do not use sticky skin preparation solutions before inserting the sensor. A sticky intravenous (I.V.) preparation solution may be used after the sensor is inserted, and before applying an occlusive adhesive dressing, to help the adhesive stick to the patient's skin.
Always refer to the instructions that came with the glucose sensor and the sensor insertion device.
Inserting the sensor
1
Refer to your Sensor User Guide for information on sensor insertion.
CAUTION: If you see body fluid on the metal sensor contacts or black o-rings, do not connect the iPro2. Remove and dispose of the sensor, and insert a new sensor. This will prevent contamination of the iPro2.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 29
2
Make an entry on the Clinic Equipment Log and the Patient Log Sheet. Make sure to write down the serial number (SN) of the iPro2, the patient’s name or ID, and the date that you placed it on the patient.
3
You now need to wait at least 15 minutes before connecting the iPro2, to allow the sensor to become hydrated with interstitial fluid. Take this time to brief your patient on what to do when he or she goes home.
Briefing the patient
The patient must receive detailed instructions on wearing the sensor and iPro2, study compliance, meter use and maintaining a log sheet. Ideally, provide the patient with a Patient Log Sheet and a
Patient Instructions Sheet. Go over the items listed on each of the documents and make sure that your patient understands his or her responsibilities to ensure a successful study.
Key points:
• Wear the iPro2 continuously while following normal daily activities.
• Record meals, blood glucose, exercise or strenuous activities, and medications on a Patient Log
Sheet.
• Keep the Patient Log Sheet accessible at all times so that information can immediately be written down after each event. Record the time and date within five minutes of each BG meter reading.
• Use the same glucose meter and the same lot of strips for the entire study.
• Do not let anyone else use the meter during the study.
• Do not use control solution during the study.
• Do not change any settings on the meter during the study, even if a daylight saving time change occurs.
• Take at least four blood glucose (BG) meter readings per day, such as before each meal and before bed.
• Take the first BG meter reading at least one hour after leaving the office, and another about two hours after the first one.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 30
• Only BG values between 40 and 400 mg/dL (2.2 and 22.2 mmol/L) will be used for calibration. If a meter reading is outside of this range, it does not count, and another BG meter reading will be needed when the patient's blood glucose is within the range.
CAUTION: The patient must return the iPro2 to the clinic within 10 days of the end of the study.
After 10 days, if the iPro2 is not connected to a powered Dock, the iPro2 battery may lose its charge, and all data on the iPro2 could be lost. Make sure to schedule the patient's return of the iPro2 well within this time period.
What to do while briefing the patient
1
Give the patient the materials they need, including at least one Patient Log Sheet and a Patient
Instructions Sheet.
2
On the Patient Log Sheet, write the patient's name, iPro2 serial number, meter brand, meter ID, and the times for the first two BG meter readings.
3
Make sure that the patient's blood glucose meter has a good battery that will last for the entire length of the study.
4
Check the date and time on the blood glucose meter.
Meter use
Instruct the patient that BG meter readings are required to calibrate the sensor data, and that for successful study data, the patient must follow these guidelines for meter use.
First day
The patient must do three blood glucose (BG) meter readings on the first day at these times:
• At least one hour after you connect the iPro2 and the patient leaves the office (but not any sooner than one hour). Write this time on the front of the Patient Log Sheet.
• Two hours after the first BG meter reading (three hours after the iPro2 is connected)
• Once more before midnight
Remaining days
• For the remaining days of the study, collect at least four BG meter readings per day, preferably before breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime.
• The patient should do at least three BG meter readings on the last day before the sensor is removed.
Care and wearing instructions
The patient can shower and swim without removing the iPro2 or sensor. The iPro2 and sensor are watertight for up to 30 minutes, up to a depth of 8 feet (2.4 meters). There is no time limit for swimming on the surface of the water or showering.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 31
The patient should periodically check the sensor site to ensure that the sensor and iPro2 are tightly connected, that the sensor is fully inserted and that there is no bleeding or irritation at the sensor site.
• If the sensor is partly pulled out, attempt to gently push it back into place.
• Remove the sensor if there is redness, pain, tenderness, or swelling at the site. The patient should notify the physician’s office if experiencing any of these symptoms.
Insulin should be injected at least 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) away from the sensor insertion site, and insulin pump infusion should be at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from the sensor insertion site.
The iPro2 must be removed (but the sensor can be left in) prior to an x-ray, CT scan or MRI. Simply reconnect the iPro2 afterward.
Make sure that the patient can return the iPro2 to the clinic well within 10 days of the end of the study. After 10 days, if the iPro2 is not connected to a powered Dock, the iPro2 battery may lose its charge, and all data on the iPro2 could be lost.
Preparing to connect the iPro2 (after briefing the patient)
1
If bleeding has occurred:
a. When bleeding stops, attach the iPro2 to the sensor.
CAUTION: If bleeding does NOT stop, do NOT connect the iPro2 to the sensor.
2
If bleeding does not stop after three minutes, do the following:
a. Remove the sensor and discard.
b. Reapply pressure using a sterile gauze or cloth until the bleeding stops.
c. Insert a new sensor in a different location.
Connecting the iPro2 to the sensor
Important: The iPro2 must be fully charged and cleared of data before connecting to a sensor.
You can verify this by connecting the iPro2 to the Dock. When you connect the iPro2 to the
Dock, if the green charging light is on (not flashing), as shown below, the iPro2 is fully ready to use.
!
If you see a red warning light while the iPro2 is connected to the Dock, do not connect the iPro2 to the sensor. See
Troubleshooting reference on page 66
.
1
Make sure that it has been at least 15 minutes since you inserted the sensor.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 32
2
Touch the end of the inserted sensor to prevent it from moving during connection.
3
Hold the iPro2 as shown. The flat side of the iPro2 should face the skin.
4
Push the iPro2 onto the sensor until the sensor's flexible side arms snap into the notches on the iPro2. If the iPro2 is properly connected, and if the sensor has had enough time to become hydrated, within 10 seconds the iPro2's green light will flash six times. The flashing takes about
10 seconds.
5
If the iPro2's green light flashes, then the sensor is fully hydrated and the iPro2 has successfully started the study.
6
If the iPro2's green light does not flash, and the Dock displayed a solid green charging light before you removed the iPro2 from it, then the sensor is not fully hydrated. You can do either of the following:
a. Remove the iPro2 from the sensor, wait 15 minutes, and then try connecting the iPro2 again.
This can be repeated every 15 minutes until the sensor is hydrated.
b. Remove the sensor from the patient’s body and insert a sensor in a new site on the body.
Wait 15 minutes for the new sensor to become hydrated before connecting the iPro2 again.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Patient setup 33
7
After you successfully connect the iPro2 to the sensor, it is highly recommended to place an occlusive adhesive dressing over the iPro2 and the sensor. This may help to keep the sensor in place under the skin.
Tip: When applying the adhesive dressing, secure the sensor firmly but comfortably, and secure the iPro2 loosely to allow some movement.
Important: If the sensor is pulled out by more than a millimeter, the iPro2 will stop collecting data until the sensor is pushed back in place. When the sensor is pushed back in, the iPro2 will start collecting data 30 minutes later.

Key Notes:
• Always clean and disinfect the iPro2 as described in
Cleaning and disinfecting the iPro2 on page 37
before connecting it to the Dock. Always discard used gloves immediately after
disinfecting the iPro2. The Dock connector cannot be disinfected.
• If you see any body fluid in the iPro2 connector opening, do not connect the iPro2 to the Dock.
Instead, you must discard the iPro2 after disinfecting it as described in

It is strongly recommended to print a copy of the Clinic Checklist to guide you through these steps. As you complete each step, mark it as complete on the checklist to make sure that you do not miss any steps.
2
Put on gloves.
3
Inspect the inside of the connector opening for any sign of body fluid.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Uploading data to CareLink iPro 37
CAUTION: The person inspecting the iPro2 must have sufficient vision that enables him or her to see small drops of body fluid or debris.
WARNING: If you see any body fluid in the connector opening, you must discard the iPro2.
Because the iPro2 contains a battery, do not discard in a bio-waste container. Instead, continue to clean and disinfect the iPro2, and then discard according to local regulations for battery disposal (non-incineration).

Uploading blood glucose meter data
If the patient has been using a supported meter (see
Meters supported by CareLink iPro for uploading on page 6
), you can upload meter data directly into CareLink iPro. The software
automatically puts the BG meter readings into the patient’s CareLink iPro Logbook. If the patient entered events on the meter, such as meals, medication, exercise, or other, these events will also be automatically uploaded into the Logbook.
CareLink iPro will compare the time and date of the computer to the time and date of the meter.
If the meter time is incorrect, CareLink iPro will use the computer's time to automatically correct the BG meter reading times. Do not change the time or date on the meter before uploading.
NOTE: If you have uploaded the iPro2 and there has been a time change, contact the 24 Hour
HelpLine for assistance in uploading the meter.
If the patient has been using a meter that is not listed in

Tips for successful report generation
• Use the Logbook to exclude BG meter readings that do not accurately reflect the patient's blood glucose, such as:
BG meter readings from someone other than the patient
BG meter readings from a control solution
BG meter readings that were taken before the patient changed the meter's time or date. If the patient changed the time on the meter during the study, first exclude all BG meter readings before the time change. Then, use information from the Patient Log Sheets to manually enter the BG meter readings at the correct times into the Logbook in CareLink iPro.
These bad BG meter readings can cause calibration errors, which may result in gaps in the sensor plot on reports. Excluding these bad BG meter readings will often eliminate data gaps.
• Keep in mind that you need BG meter readings within 12 hours of each other in order to avoid data gaps.
iPro2 CGM User Guide CareLink iPro reports 50
• Modify a patient's Report Settings to change the target range for blood glucose, the patient's meal periods, or other settings.
About reports
CareLink iPro reports show up to seven calendar days of study data. The reports are created in PDF format, so they can easily be stored electronically or printed. The three main reports are:
• Daily Overlay (one page) - provides an overlay of the sensor traces for each day on a single 24 hour graph, so that you can look for trends or excursions that occur around the same time each day. This report also provides daily statistical information, including an Excursion Summary of highs and lows, and Duration Distribution pie charts. The Duration Distribution charts show what percent of each day the patient spent above, below, and within the target range.
• Overlay by Meal (two pages) - provides an overlay of the sensor traces from each day of the study, broken down into meal and overnight periods. The meal overlay graphs are only created if meal events are entered into the CareLink iPro Logbook. The patient's Report Settings, if different from the clinic Report Settings, determine what the periods are. The sensor traces for each day are overlaid, so that you can look for trends at certain times related to meal or overnight periods.
This report lines up glucose sensor traces before and after each meal and is especially useful if patients eat meals at varying times each day.
• Daily Summary (two pages) - provides a summary of each full or partial 24-hour period of the study, including both the sensor trace and events such as meals, medication, and exercise.
Optimal accuracy
CareLink iPro automatically performs certain checks for optimal accuracy of the data in a study. These checks are designed to help you become aware of any data that may be less than optimal for making therapy decisions.
The system evaluates the accuracy of the data on a calendar day basis, from midnight to midnight for each day that sensor glucose values are recorded. There are three measurements to determine the accuracy of the data: number of valid calibrations, mean absolute difference percentage (MAD%), and correlation.
Days that do not meet one of the thresholds are designated as Use Clinical Judgment. This designation appears in two places: on the Daily Overlay Report, and on the Daily Summary Report for the individual day graph. On the Daily Overlay Report, those days that do not satisfy the criteria are marked with an X in the Designation row.
If the Designation area is blank for a certain day on the Daily Overlay Report, then the data for that day passes all optimal accuracy criteria.
iPro2 CGM User Guide CareLink iPro reports 51
• MAD%: the threshold for MAD% will vary depending on the range of BG meter values for the calendar day. If the calendar day does not meet this threshold, it will be designated with an X
(Use Clinical Judgment).
If the BG meter reading range is greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL (or 5.6 mmol/L), then an
MAD% of 28.0 or less is considered optimal.
If the BG meter reading range is less than 100 mg/dL (or 5.6 mmol/L), then an MAD% of 18.0 or less is considered optimal.
• # Valid Calibrations: 3 or more is considered optimal. If there are less than 3 valid calibrations in a calendar day, then that day does not meet this threshold and will be designated with an X (Use
Clinical Judgment). This commonly occurs on a partial day of sensor wear, such as the last day of the study.
The system evaluates the accuracy of the sensor glucose values in comparison with the BG meter readings used for the calibration. Each BG meter reading used for calibration is paired with the corresponding sensor glucose value generated by the calibration algorithm at the same point in time.
Not all BG meter readings used for calibration are considered valid for purposes of optimal accuracy evaluation. If no other BG meter reading (used for calibration) exists within 12 hours before or after a calibration, then the BG meter reading is not considered valid for purposes of optimal accuracy determination.
Only BG meter readings between 40 and 400 mg/dL (2.2 and 22.2 mmol/L) will be used for calibration.
• Correlation: 0.79 or greater is considered optimal. If the Correlation is less than 0.79, then that calendar day does not meet this threshold and will be designated with an X (Use Clinical
Judgment).
When the BG meter reading range is less than 100 mg/dL (or 5.6 mmol/L) or the number of valid calibrations is less than 3, then the Correlation is reported as N/A and is not evaluated, for purposes of optimal accuracy.
If the correlation is high (close to 1.0), but the MAD% is high, this can be due to a single outlying
BG meter reading. This would cause a Use Clinical Judgment designation.
There are also two other designations that can appear on the Daily Overlay Report: S: No Sensor
Data and C: No Calibration BG's.
• S: No Sensor Data: This designation occurs on a calendar day in which there is no sensor data.
Therefore, there are no sensor values on the reports for that day. The Daily Summary graph for that day shows only BG meter readings plotted, if there are any, and no sensor data.
• C: No Calibration BG's: This designation occurs on a calendar day in which there are sensor values available, but there are no valid BG meter readings with which to calibrate the sensor values. Sensor data that cannot be calibrated will be missing from the reports for that day.
iPro2 CGM User Guide CareLink iPro reports 52
Area under the curve (AUC)
Area under the curve (AUC) information appears in the Excursion Summary on the Daily Overlay
Report. AUC provides more insight into how much time the patient's glucose was high or low, as well as the severity of excursions outside of the target range. A high AUC indicates more excursions or more severe excursions. The closer that AUC is to zero, the more that the patient's glucose stayed within the target range.
AUC calculations are reported in mg/dL per day (or mmol/L per day). The Daily Overlay Report provides two AUC amounts for each day: AUC Above Limit and AUC Below Limit.
• AUC Above Limit: this statistic provides a relative indication of the overall extent and duration of high glucose excursions over the entire day. The calculation is dependent on the patient
Glucose Target Range High setting. The High limit value is subtracted from each individual sensor glucose value that exceeds the limit. The differences are summed and the sum total is divided by the total number of sensor glucose values that exist for the day.
• AUC Below Limit: this statistic provides a relative indication of the overall extent and duration of low glucose excursions over the entire day. The calculation is dependent on the patient Glucose
Target Range Low setting. Each individual sensor glucose value that exceeds the limit is subtracted from the Low limit value. The differences are summed and the sum total is divided by the total number of sensor glucose values that exist for the day.
Patient Report Settings
When you first add a patient into CareLink iPro, the patient's Report Settings are set based on the current Clinic Report Settings that are defined on the Clinic Settings tab. The Clinic Report Settings are like a template for creating the Report Settings for each new patient. After a patient record has been created, you can change the Report Settings for that patient's reports.
For example, the patient’s meal periods may not match the default meal periods, which were defined for your clinic in the Clinic Report Settings. Or, the target glucose range for the patient may be different from the default range set in the Clinic Report Settings.
In these cases, you can modify a patient’s report settings manually.
• If you change the Patient Report Settings before generating reports, future reports will be generated based on the changes you made.
• If you change the Report Settings after generating reports, you must choose whether you want to apply the new settings to the most recent reports. You can also apply the new settings to older studies. Existing study reports will not be updated automatically based on the new settings.
After viewing the first reports you generate for a patient, you may decide to modify the Patient
Report Settings, and then generate the reports again based on the new settings.

Key Notes:
• Always connect the cleaning plug to the iPro2 before cleaning.
• When not in use, leave the iPro2 connected to the Dock, so it will be ready for use with the next patient.
• If an iPro2 is unused for several weeks, you must store it on a powered Dock. Otherwise, the iPro2 battery could become damaged.
• Keep extra Patient Log Sheets and other iPro2 supplies in an organized cabinet.
iPro2 CGM User Guide System maintenance 61
Cleaning the iPro2
Always clean and disinfect the iPro2 after removing it from a patient. Make sure to connect the cleaning plug to the iPro2 before cleaning and disinfecting. For complete instructions, see
Cleaning and disinfecting the iPro2 on page 37
Cleaning the Dock
The Dock cannot be disinfected. This procedure is for general cleaning as required, based on physical appearance.
WARNING: Always clean and disinfect the iPro2 after removing it from the patient and before attaching it to the Dock. If the Dock's connector comes in contact with blood, the Dock must be discarded because the Dock's connector cannot be disinfected. Dispose of the Dock according to the local regulations for electronic devices.
CAUTION: The Dock is not watertight. Do not immerse in water or any other cleaning agent. Do not allow liquid to come in contact with the Dock's connector, USB port, or reset button.
Repeated exposure to liquid could damage the connector and affect the performance of the device. If liquid comes in contact with the connector, allow the Dock to air dry before proceeding with the cleaning instructions.
1
Disconnect the Dock USB cable from the computer or wall-powered adapter.
2
Disconnect the Dock from the USB cable.
3
Use a damp cloth with mild cleaning solution, such as a dishwashing detergent, to clean any dirt or foreign material from the outside of the Dock. Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or acetone to clean the Dock.
4
Place the Dock on a clean, dry cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
5
When the Dock is completely dry, you can reconnect it to the computer or wall-powered adapter with the USB cable.
Components that cannot be cleaned
You cannot clean the following components of the iPro2 system:
• Cleaning plugs (discard each cleaning plug after 30 uses)
• Wall-powered adapter
• Dock USB cable iPro2 CGM User Guide System maintenance 62
Charging the iPro2 between studies
Charge the iPro2 in the Dock. The Dock can be connected to the computer or to the wall-powered adapter, which lets you use a regular power outlet for charging. While the iPro2 is charging, the green charging light on the Dock is flashing, as shown:
!
Between patient studies, the iPro2 should take less than 30 minutes to reach a full charge. When the iPro2 is fully charged, the green charging light on the Dock remains on:
!
CAUTION: If the green charging light continues to flash and never turns solid, this indicates that the iPro2 contains patient data that you have not uploaded. You cannot use the iPro2 for another study until you upload the data. If you need to clear the data without uploading it, you can perform a reset. For details, see
Resetting the iPro2 on page 75
Always leave the iPro2 connected to a powered Dock when not in use. This maintains the life of the iPro2 battery and keeps the iPro2 ready for the next patient study.
If your clinic has only one iPro2, you can leave the Dock connected to the computer and connect the iPro2 to the Dock when not in use. The computer supplies enough power to charge the iPro2, as long as the computer is on and the white Dock power light is on .
!
If you have multiple iPro2s, you can use the wall-powered adapters to keep them charged at power outlets, and leave one Dock connected to the computer at all times so that it is ready to upload data.
iPro2 CGM User Guide System maintenance 63
Tip: To extend the life of your Docks, mark your calendar to periodically exchange the Dock that you have connected to the computer with a Dock that is connected to an electrical socket. The Dock connected to the computer gets the most use, and the connector pins can wear out over time.
Storage and organization tips
When not in use, store the iPro2 on the Dock and keep the Dock plugged in, so that the iPro2 remains charged. Otherwise, the iPro2 battery could become damaged.
You can organize your other iPro2 supplies in a small drawer organizer, such as the one shown here.
These are some of the items that you will want to keep on hand and ready for the next patient:
• Sen-serter
• Glucose sensors
• Occlusive adhesive dressings
• Alcohol swabs
• Liquid dishwashing detergent
• Adhesive remover
• Gloves
• Documents and forms, including:

Troubleshooting reference
Problem Possible causes
I connected the iPro2 to the sensor, and the iPro2 did not flash after 10 seconds.
Either the sensor is not adequately hydrated, the iPro2 is not connected properly, or the iPro2 is not ready to begin a study.
What to do
Did you take the iPro2 directly from a powered Dock, and did the Dock display a solid green charging light?
•
•
If yes, then the iPro2 may not be connected properly, or the sensor may not be fully hydrated. Disconnect and reconnect the iPro2. If this does not work, wait another 15 minutes and then connect the iPro2 to the sensor again. If the iPro2 still does not flash, wait another 15 minutes and try again. In some cases, it can take up to two hours for the sensor to become hydrated.
If the iPro2 still does not flash after two hours, you can remove the sensor and insert a new sensor in a different site on the body.
If no, or if you are not sure, the iPro2 may not be fully charged, or may still contain data from a previous study. In these cases, the green light will not flash when connected to the sensor.
Disconnect the iPro2 from the sensor. Clean and disinfect it
(see
Cleaning and disinfecting the iPro2 on page 37
), and then connect it to the Dock. If the green charging light on the
Dock turns solid after two minutes, the iPro2 is ready to start a study on a new patient. If not, the iPro2 needs to be charged or still contains patient data from the previous study.
If these steps do not work, use the Dock to reset the iPro2. For instructions, see
Resetting the iPro2 on page 75
.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Troubleshooting 66
Problem
The iPro2 has been connected to the Dock with adequate power for two to three hours, but the green charging light keeps flashing.
!
The reports only show a partial study. Data ends before study was supposed to end.
Troubleshooting reference
Possible causes What to do
The iPro2 most likely contains data that has not been uploaded.
•
• Check the Clinic Equipment Log or Patient Log
Sheets to find out which patient's data was last collected. Open CareLink iPro and check to see if a study was uploaded for the dates on the log sheet. If there is no study, upload the iPro2 into that patient's record in CareLink iPro. CareLink iPro clears the data off of the iPro2 as part of the upload process. You must then wait for the green charging light on the Dock to turn solid before the iPro2 is ready to use for the next patient.
If you are unable to identify which patient's data is still on the iPro2, or if you are unable to upload the iPro2 successfully, you may need to reset the iPro2. For instructions, see
Resetting the iPro2 on page 75
A common cause of a partial study is sensor pullout.
If the sensor was not pulled out, the iPro2 battery may not have had sufficient power to complete the study.
CareLink iPro checks the iPro2 battery and displays a message during the upload process to warn you that there might be a problem:
The iPro2 Recorder battery is not charging properly. Please refer to the User Guide for assistance.
Also, the Dock displays a solid red warning light when there may be a problem with the iPro2 battery.
•
•
• If the sensor pulled out, make sure that the sensor is fully inserted and properly taped to the skin for future studies.
If you did not see an error message in CareLink iPro during the uploading process, it could be that there are not enough BG meter readings for calibration after a certain point in the study.
Make sure that you have entered all of the patient's BG meter readings into CareLink iPro.
CareLink iPro needs good BG meter readings in order to calibrate sensor data. Less than three
BG meter readings per day, or more than 12 hours between BG meter readings, can result in data gaps.
If you saw a CareLink iPro error message, see the troubleshooting steps for that error message in this section.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Troubleshooting 67
Problem
There are gaps in the sensor data in the reports.
I uploaded the wrong meter for a patient. Can I fix this?
I uploaded the wrong iPro2 for a patient. Can I fix this?
I connected the iPro2 to the Dock and no lights came on.
Troubleshooting reference
Possible causes What to do
A common cause of data gaps is partial sensor pullout.
There can also be calibration problems due to an insufficient number of BG meter readings, readings that are more than 12 hours apart, or readings that are out of the expected range.
Make sure that you have entered all of the patient's
BG meter readings into CareLink iPro. CareLink iPro needs good BG meter readings in order to calibrate and report sensor data. Less than three per day can result in data gaps.
Also check the sensor trace on reports to see if there are BG meter readings not used for calibration. Bad BG meter readings are identified as calibration errors. These BG meter readings are not used for calibration and cause the sensor plot to stop. The sensor plot starts again at a good BG meter reading. You can eliminate some data gaps by excluding bad BG meter readings using the
Exclude feature in the Logbook.
Some sensor pullouts can be avoided by applying an adhesive dressing over the iPro2 and sensor.
Always advise patients to test their blood glucose at least four times a day.
In the Logbook screen, check the Exclude check box to exclude all of the BG meter readings that came from the wrong meter. The readings from the wrong meter will still be in the Logbook, but they will not affect sensor calibration or reports. If you find the right meter or log sheets for the patient, you can manually enter the BG meter readings from the right meter.
Also, you can still upload the meter to the correct patient study.
The Dock may not be connected to the computer, or it may not have sufficient power. The white Dock power light
must be on before connecting the iPro2.
Yes, you can move the entire study from the incorrect patient record to the correct patient
Moving a patient study on page 58

Try connecting the Dock to a different USB port on the computer. Wait for all three lights to flash, followed by a solid white light. If the Dock is connected to the computer but none of the lights turn on, there may be other USB devices connected that are using up power. Disconnect other devices.
Do not connect more than one Dock at a time to a computer. You can also try connecting the Dock to another computer.
If the white Dock power light is on, but the three lights do not flash when you connect the iPro2, check the iPro2 connector pins for damage or moisture. For assistance in locating the connector pins, see

Sensor performance
In Vivo performance
In this multicenter clinical trial
1
, a total of 62 subjects used the CGM system, on average, for a period of 18.6 days. An average of 6.7 sensors were used by each subject. Accuracy of the CGM system was evaluated using the Accu-chek® glucometer (reference meter BGs).
Subjects took frequent blood glucose meter readings using a commercially available home glucose meter. CGM system performance was assessed by comparing the glucose meter readings to the glucose values calculated by the CGM system. The data collected during the study was used to calculate intra-day correlation, the average numerical difference between the sensor and meter readings, and the categorical agreement between the sensor and meter.
1. Study GS004 - 1997, A Multi-center Clinical Evaluation of the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS)
Numerical agreement
Numerical agreement was assessed by averaging the individual differences between the blood glucose meter readings (reference meter readings) and corresponding sensor glucose concentrations. The average difference between the sensor and the reference meter was -5.4 mg/dL, with a standard deviation of 44.2 mg/dL.
Intra-day correlation
Correlation coefficients were calculated for each calendar day of sensor use. The median correlation was 0.92, with 75% of the correlation values above 0.75.

180 mg/dL, > 180 ≤ 300 mg/dL, > 300 ≤ 350 mg/dL, > 350 ≤ 400 mg/dL). The three categories are: 1) percentage of CGM system readings within 20% of reference, 2) percentage of CGM system readings within 30% of reference, and 3) percentage of CGM system readings greater than 40% of reference.

*For the 40-60 and the 61-80 mg/dL groups, the difference is presented as the absolute difference in mg/dL between the CGM system sensor and the reference.
Overall, nothing remarkable was observed across all cells, which showed consistency in measurement for all categorical groupings.
Clarke Error Grid analysis
Temporally paired glucose readings from the CGM system and reference meter BG were plotted as
Clarke Error Grid (CEG) scatter plots. Tabulation of these values demonstrated that 92.93% of paired points in the overall subject population fell in zones A and B of the CEG. In the two highest comparative glucose ranges, greater than 55% of paired points fell in zone A. In the 40-80 and 81-120 mg/dL comparative glucose ranges, the values of the paired points that fell in zone A were 52.16% and 51.74% respectively.

Precision
NOTE: In vivo precision studies have not been performed to date and therefore results may differ due to matrix effects.
Precision of the CGM system was evaluated in vitro by calibrating sensors in solutions with known glucose concentrations (measured using a YSI Glucose Analyzer) and then repeatedly performing measurement (at least 10 times) in solution with concentrations across the operation range. The average coefficient of variation was 5.06%. The average coefficients of variation for the specific glucose concentrations that were utilized for this evaluation are provided in the table below.

Interference
In vitro and in vivo testing suggests that usual pharmacologic levels of acetaminophen and ascorbic acid have a minimal effect on the function of the CGM system. In vitro testing suggests that normal physiological levels of uric acid do not affect sensor function. The impact of oral hypoglycemic agents, lipids, bilirubin and other potential interfering substances have not been studied.
Limitations
Since the CGM system requires calibration using a blood glucose value obtained from a home glucose meter, any inaccuracy in value obtained from the reference meter will affect the accuracy of the value calculated by the CGM system. Also, since the sensitivity of the sensor may change, failure
to recalibrate the sensor at least four times daily may result in inaccurate glucose readings.
In vitro testing has indicated that the monitor may record inaccurate glucose readings during exposure to electromagnetic fields of 3 V/M or stronger. Therefore, the use of the CGM system in
close proximity to strong electromagnetic sources, such as medical imaging equipment, television transmitters, high-voltage power lines, and high-power radio transmitters is not recommended.

Use in special patient groups
The device has been clinically tested primarily in adult caucasian persons with Type 1 diabetes. This device has not been clinically tested in children. Because of variations in size and amount of body fat, performance may be different in children than in adults. Although the system has not been studied in other diabetic patient populations, similar results are expected.

Logbook - A screen in CareLink iPro that lets you manually enter events such as BG meter readings, meals, exercise, and medication taken, so that these events show up on reports. The Logbook also displays BG meter readings, and possibly other events, that you upload from a supported blood glucose meter into CareLink iPro.
Mean Absolute Difference % (MAD%) - Represents the level of accuracy in calibration of the sensor to BG meter readings. The lower this number, the greater the calibration accuracy. MAD% is calculated by taking the difference between closely occurring pairs of sensor glucose and BG meter readings, dividing by the BG meter reading, and then averaging across all pairs.
Mean Absolute Difference (MAD) - Represents the level of accuracy in calibration of the sensor to BG meter readings. The lower this number, the greater the calibration accuracy. MAD is calculated by taking the difference between closely occurring pairs of sensor glucose and BG meter readings and then averaging across all pairs.
Meter - A medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. A small drop of blood is placed on a disposable test strip, which the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in mg/dL or mmol/L.
Sen-serter - The Sen-serter is indicated as an aid for insertion of the Medtronic Diabetes glucose sensor.
iPro2 CGM User Guide Glossary 91
Study - The period of time that a patient wears a glucose sensor and iPro2. This word also refers to an upload of glucose sensor data from an iPro2 into CareLink iPro, along with any meter upload and
