System Components
The Guardian® REAL-Time System is an all-in-one solution to help patients and providers to improve diabetes management together.
MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter
Wirelessly transmit glucose levels to the continuous glucose monitor
How It Works
The MiniLink® REAL-Time Transmitter wirelessly sends data from the glucose sensor to the insulin pump or Guardian Monitor.

Sof-sensor
How It Works
The tiny glucose sensor is inserted, virtually painlessly, under the skin using an easy-to-use auto-insertion device.*
About the Glucose Sensor
- Measures current glucose levels continuously
- Proven accuracy in numerous studies1-3
- Fingersticks are required before adjusting insulin delivery and to calibrate the glucose sensor†
- Waterproof when attached to MiniLink Transmitter
- FDA approved for 3 days of continuous use
* If sensor is not securely placed in Sen-serter® prior to insertion, pain or minor injury may occur.
† The sensor should be checked periodically to ensure that it remains in place. If the sensor is disconnected and then reconnected, the signals it sends to the monitor may not be stable or accurate. The sensor may need to be recalibrated (See section titled "Perform the Initial Calibration" in the product manual) before returning to normal operation.
