How to Tape Your Guardian™ Sensor 3

- Taping your Guardian™ Sensor 3 is the final step in the glucose sensor insertion process. Watch this how-to video to learn how to secure your Guardian™ Sensor 3 using Oval Tape.
The MiniMed™ 670G system with SmartGuard™ technology is the worlds first integrated insulin pump system that mimics some of the functions of a healthy pancreas. This breakthrough technology automatically adjusts (some user interaction required) to help keep glucose levels in range so you can spend more time enjoying life and less time managing diabetes.
The MiniMed™ 670G system is for type 1 ages 14 and over. May not be safe for younger than 7 or using less than 8 units of insulin/day. It is not recommended to calibrate your CGM device when sensor or blood glucose values are changing rapidly e.g. following a meal of physical exercise. See bit.ly/670gRisks

The most insane way of attaching a sensor to one's body I have ever seen. Oh, and all of my oval tapes are stuck together, making it an even greater joy. Btw, Medtronics, the one box I have opened had NO oval tapes in it. There was a bag of 10 that came with the transmitter/charger, but not in the box of sensors. You really should include more than the bare minimum of these in the boxes because the entire affair wants to get tangled up with each other when you remove them from the bag, not to mention when you attempt to apply them. Why did you choose this system anyway? None of the competing sensors are anywhere near as kludgy as this.
I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations. Our technical support team would be happy to help get you additional tape. Please give them a call at your convenience at 800.646.4633, option 1.
Good video, really helped
Do you have to get the oval tape separately? I didn’t receive that.
Anyone have tips on how to keep the clear oval tape clean? Usually after the first of second shower with the sensor on it will start to get gooey and gross looking.
Looking forward to test out new tech in the future!
Don't get your hopes up. Many people, including myself, are finding that these sensors are randomly failing on a regular basis, going into the "Sensor Updating, Do not calibrate" error, which inevitably ends in premature sensor failure. Medtronic Support has no explanation or fix for this error. I'm disgusted with this company, which up until now, has had great customer support and products they could be proud of.
The only explanation I can think of is that they rushed this product through FDA approval and didn't do proper quality testing before shipping it out to customers with the full price tag attached. Profit was their primary concern.
Alec, I'm sorry you're not having the same experience as many of our customers. I'd be happy to connect you with a senior member of our 24-Hour HelpLine team to see if they can help turn this experience around for you. Please email your contact info to dhelp@medtronic.com and we'll be in touch.
@@Eisenbison Medtronic keeps calling me to up date to this new one. Glad I'm reading peoples posts to stay away from the new one as long as I can.
So glad I could help, brother. Stick with the older LCD-display Mini-Med pumps if you can. I've been using the 670G for over a year, and I still get frustrated with how terribly the menu system is designed. If you want to upgrade, there's another company that offers an amazingly better CGM system. I'm on the waiting list to get it!
Lol, diabetics and new tech? We’re literally using a 1970’s PAGER to keep us alive. These companies don’t give af about us.
No sensor signal ?? What can I do
What about if I can’t make a call because I am different country. What can I do in that case. I am afraid to travel and the sensor give me problems like always
Hi, Danna, please visit bit.ly/1ce3pEc to find local contacts that would be happy to help with products available where you live.
What should be done if the last piece of oval tape is covering the transmitter and the signal is lost? It's hard to remove the transmitter underneath all the tape without pulling out the sensor 😰
Edit: It eventually found signal again 😊 This might be a concern though?
2nd Edit: For anyone who experiences this just peel back the adhesive tab that goes over the transmitter a little bit and then pinch the sensor to push the transmitter out/forward. It will disconnect under the oval tape.
Austin, our 24-Hour HelpLine would be happy to help when you experience tape or sensor issues. Please give our team a call at 800.646.4633 option #1.
The tape they sent with my Cgm made my skin red and irritated. :/
I'm sorry to hear this, Casie. We encourage you to reach out to our technical support team, they will have suggestions to help. Please give them a call at 800.646.4633 option #1.
Same, I now use 3 x Elastoplast Heavy Fabric waterproof bandaids. I completely cover the sensor, and it works fine. Get some small red rashes, but not itchy and unbearable.
The tape irritates my skin very badly, after removal it leaves a raised redden area and it is extremely itchy. My abdomen looks all torn up. The. I tried the arm to put in sensor and wow painful
Where can I get more of the oval tape
from
Hi, Connie. You can order more tape online here: bit.ly/2HSsNl6 or by calling our Supply Management team at 800.646.4633 option #2.
Hi there, Mark. Each box of Guardian Sensor 3 sensors should include 10 pieces of Oval tape. If you did not receive them in each sensor box, please let us know, by reaching out to our technical support team at 800.646.4633, option 1.
10 is the bare minimum you need for a box of five. The way the package of tapes is packaged, they are likely to become stuck together, making them unusable. If you don't apply the tape perfectly each and every time, you're out of luck. This is one of the many weaknesses of the Medtronic system.
This tape doesn't stick well at all. This is the third sensor that I've lost...
Norman, we're sorry to hear this. Have you had the opportunity to speak with our technical support team. They are able to provide alternate taping techniques as well as replace any sensors that didn't work as intended.
Norman, we can check your health plan benefits and see if our tape is covered. If you'd like to look into this, give our Supply Management team a call at 800.646.4633, option 2.
Shaida, please give our 24-Hour Technical Support and team a call at 800.646.4633, option 1 and we'll be happy to look into this with you.
I'm surprised this poor, overly complicated tape system has been prescribed for such a long time period. Very poor system that could be easily improved!
