Frequently asked questions
The Smart MDI System brings together an ecosystem of Smart tools that provide real-time insights and comprehensive reports to make it easier to manage life on multiple daily injections (MDI).
- The Guardian™ 4 system is a real-time, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age 7 years and older.
- The InPen™ system is intended for single-patient use by people with diabetes for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. For patients who do not self-manage their disease, the Smart device should always be under the supervision of a caregiver.
We’ve updated our standalone CGM system app and hardware to improve the customer experience. These are the most significant updates that can be found in the Guardian™ 4 system:
- The previous system was called the Guardian™ Connect system. This next generation of our Smart CGM is called the Guardian™ 4 Smart* CGM System
- The Guardian™ 4 system now requires no finger pricks**
- Non-adjunctive labeling. This means a user can now make treatment decisions based on the glucose value shown by the system, without the need for a confirmatory finger prick.
*Smart CGM predicts future high and low sensor glucose events up to 1 hour in advance and provides access to additional algorithms and insights that can inform users of clinically relevant glucose patterns. Please refer to IFU.
**If CGM readings do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. Refer to System User Guide.
