Device Description

SmartGuard technology

SmartGuard technology, also referred to as Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) algorithm, is a software-only device intended for use by people with Type 1 diabetes, ages 7 years or older, and by people with Type 2 diabetes, ages 18 years or older. It is an interoperable automated glycemic controller (iAGC) that is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM), compatible interoperable Medtronic continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and compatible alternate controller enabled (ACE) pumps to automatically adjust the delivery of basal insulin and to automatically deliver correction boluses based on sensor glucose (SG) values.

The AHCL algorithm resides on the compatible ACE pump, which serves as the host device. It is meant to be integrated in a compatible ACE pump and is an embedded part of the ACE pump firmware.

Inputs to the AHCL algorithm (e.g., SG values, user inputs) are received from the ACE pump (host device), and outputs from the AHCL algorithm (e.g., insulin delivery commands) are sent by the algorithm to the ACE pump. As an embedded part of the firmware, the AHCL algorithm does not connect to or receive data from compatible CGMs; instead, sensor glucose (SG) values or other inputs received by the ACE pump from compatible CGMs via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology are transmitted to the embedded AHCL algorithm.

The AHCL algorithm works in conjunction with the ACE pump and is responsible for controlling insulin delivery when the ACE pump is in Auto Mode. It includes adaptive control algorithms that autonomously and continually adapt to the ever-changing insulin requirements of each individual.

The AHCL algorithm requires specific therapy settings (target setpoint, insulin-to-carb ratios and active insulin time) that need to be established with the help of a health care provider (HCP) before activation. It also requires five (5) consecutive hours of insulin delivery history, a minimum of two (2) days of total daily dose (TDD) of insulin, a valid sensor glucose (SG) and blood glucose (BG) values to start automated insulin delivery.

When activated, the AHCL algorithm adjusts the insulin dose at five-minute intervals based on CGM data. A basal insulin dose (auto basal) is commanded by the AHCL algorithm to manage glucose levels to the user's target setpoint of 100 mg/dL, 110 mg/dL or 120 mg/dL. The user can also set a temporary target of 150 mg/dL for up to 24 hours. In addition, under certain conditions the algorithm can also automatically command correction boluses (auto correction bolus) without user input.

Meal boluses are the responsibility of the user. The AHCL algorithm includes an integrated bolus calculation feature for user-initiated boluses for meals. When the user inputs their carbohydrate intake, the AHCL algorithm automatically calculates a bolus amount based off available glucose information, entered carbohydrate amount and other patient parameters.

The AHCL algorithm contains several layers of "safeguards" (mitigations) to provide protection against over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin to reduce risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, respectively.

The AHCL algorithm is a software-only device and does not have a user interface (UI). The compatible ACE pump provides a UI to the user to configure the therapy settings and interact with the algorithm. The AHCL-related alerts/alarms are displayed and managed by the pump.

Predictive Low Glucose technology

Predictive Low Glucose technology, also referred to as the Predictive Low Glucose Management (PLGM) algorithm is a software-only device intended for use by people with Type 1 diabetes, ages 7 years or older, and by people with Type 2 diabetes, ages 18 years or older. It is an interoperable automated glycemic controller (iAGC) that is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM), compatible interoperable Medtronic continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and compatible alternate controller enabled (ACE) pumps to automatically suspend delivery of insulin when the sensor glucose value falls below or is predicted to fall below predefined threshold values.

The PLGM algorithm resides on the compatible ACE Pump, which serves as the host device. It is meant to be integrated in a compatible ACE pump and is an embedded part of the ACE pump firmware.

Inputs to PLGM algorithm (e.g., sensor glucose values, user inputs) are received from the ACE pump (host device), and outputs from PLGM algorithm (e.g., suspend/resume commands) are sent by the algorithm to the ACE pump. As an embedded part of the ACE pump firmware, the PLGM algorithm does not connect to or receive data from compatible CGMs; instead, sensor glucose (SG) values or other inputs are received by the ACE pump from compatible CGMs via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology are transmitted to the embedded PLGM algorithm.

The PLGM algorithm works in conjunction with the ACE pump. When enabled, the PLGM algorithm is able to suspend insulin delivery for a minimum of 30 minutes and for a maximum of 2 hours based on current or predicted sensor glucose values. It will automatically resume insulin delivery when maximum suspend time of 2 hours has elapsed or when underlying conditions resolve. The user is also able to manually resume insulin at any time.

The PLGM algorithm is a software-only device and does not have a user interface (UI). The compatible ACE pump provides the UI to configure therapy settings and interact with the algorithm. The PLGM-related alerts/alarms are displayed and managed by the pump.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary concern the Medtronic SmartGuard Technology (Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop algorithm, AHCL) and Predictive Low Glucose Technology (Predictive Low Glucose Management algorithm, PLGM). The document details the devices' descriptions, indications for use, comparison to predicate devices, and summaries of non-clinical and clinical performance data.

However, it's important to note that this document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices and does not explicitly state specific acceptance criteria (performance targets) for clinical efficacy metrics (e.g., specific HbA1c reduction percentages or time in range targets needed for clearance) and does not present the study results in a direct "acceptance criteria vs. reported performance" table format for those specific targets. Instead, it highlights that the clinical data "confirmed the safety and effectiveness" and "demonstrated improved glycemic outcomes" or "non-inferiority," and that "the results also confirm that use...was associated with improved glucose control."

The document also provides details about the clinical studies without explicitly labelling them as "the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the way a clinical trial protocol would specify primary and secondary endpoints and their statistical targets. Instead, it justifies substantial equivalence through the provided study data.

Therefore, the response below will extract the most relevant information based on your request, presenting the outcomes demonstrated by the studies as "reported device performance" where specific metrics are given, and noting the absence of explicit, pre-defined acceptance criteria targets in the clearance letter itself.


Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Meets Criteria

The FDA 510(k) summary for Medtronic's SmartGuard Technology and Predictive Low Glucose Technology establishes substantial equivalence to predicate devices. While the document asserts the safety and effectiveness, it does not explicitly define quantitative "acceptance criteria" for specific performance metrics in a pass/fail sense within this summary. Instead, it relies on demonstrating improved or non-inferior clinical outcomes compared to baseline or predicate performance. The clinical studies described confirm the safety and effectiveness and demonstrate associations with improved glucose control, which implicitly means the performance was deemed acceptable by the FDA for substantial equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As explicit quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., "HbA1c must reduce by X%") are not stated in this 510(k) summary, the table below presents the demonstrated clinical outcomes as "Reported Device Performance" highlighting the positive findings that supported clearance.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied / Not Explicitly Stated)Reported Device Performance (AHCL Algorithm)
Safety and EffectivenessT1D (AHCL with Simplera Sync CGM - K251217): Confirmed safety and effectiveness. Demonstrated improved glycemic outcomes (reduction in HbA1c) compared to baseline, superiority for time in range, and non-inferiority for reduction in HbA1c. T2D (AHCL with Simplera Sync CGM & Guardian 4 CGM - P160017/S124): Confirmed safety and effectiveness. Use of AHCL SmartGuard was associated with improved glucose control. No device-related serious adverse events reported. - Phase 1 (Guardian 4 CGM): Significant Time-in-Range (TIR) of 80.9% (70-180 mg/dL). - Phase 2 (Simplera Sync sensor): Significant TIR of 85.4% (70-180 mg/dL). T1D (AHCL with Guardian 4 CGM & Lyumjev/Fiasp Insulins - P160017/S125): Confirmed safety and effectiveness. Use of Lyumjev and Fiasp with the MiniMed 780G Auto Correction feature was associated with improved glucose control in all age groups. No device-related serious adverse events reported for Fiasp. Lyumjev study reported one non-device related serious adverse event during screening, but none during run-in or study period for device use.
Glycemic Control ImprovementDemonstrated improved glycemic outcomes (HbA1c reduction, increased Time in Range). Specific TIR percentages for T2D were 80.9% (Phase 1) and 85.4% (Phase 2), significantly exceeding ADA recommendations (implicitly the target). In silico simulations for T2D showed statistical significance above ADA recommended TIR targets.
Hypoglycemia Reduction/ManagementPLGM Algorithm: In silico studies for PLGM showed "percentage time in hypoglycemia <70 mg/dL fell within the margin" for the adult age group, indicating equivalency in time spent below 70 mg/dL with PLGM use. The clinical study for PLGM in K251217 (MiniMed 640G System) evaluated safety.
No Device-Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Generally reported "no device-related serious adverse events" across clinical trials for both AHCL and PLGM technologies when used in conjunction with the specified insulins and CGMs.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The primary "test sets" for clinical effectiveness and safety were the patient cohorts in the described clinical studies.

  • AHCL with Simplera Sync CGM (Type 1 Diabetes): The sample size details for this study (originally in K251217) are not explicitly provided in this 510(k) summary. However, it confirmed safety and effectiveness in Type 1 Diabetes patients.
  • AHCL with Simplera Sync CGM & Guardian 4 CGM (Type 2 Diabetes) (P160017/S124):
    • Phase 1 (Guardian 4 CGM): N = 95 subjects.
    • Phase 2 (Simplera Sync sensor): N = 302 subjects (66 "transition", 236 "naive").
    • Data Provenance: Multi-center, single-arm study. The document does not specify countries but implies clinical trial settings. Given the general nature of FDA submissions, it would typically involve US-based and possibly international sites. Clinical data is generally considered prospective for such trials.
  • AHCL with Guardian 4 CGM and Lyumjev Insulin (Type 1 Diabetes) (P160017/S125):
    • ITT Population: N = 101 (Age 7-17 Years), N = 110 (Age 18-80 Years).
    • Data Provenance: Single-arm, multi-center, home clinical investigation. The document does not specify countries but implies clinical trial settings. Prospective.
  • AHCL with Guardian 4 CGM and Fiasp Insulin (Type 1 Diabetes) (P160017/S125):
    • ITT Population: N = 107 (Age 7-17 Years), N = 116 (Age 18-80 Years).
    • Data Provenance: Global multi-center, single-arm study. Countries mentioned: Australia, Canada, United States. Prospective.
  • PLGM Algorithm: Evaluated for safety in a multi-center, single-arm, in-clinic study of the MiniMed 640G System. The sample size for this study (originally in K251217) is not explicitly provided in this 510(k) summary.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

The document refers to "clinical data" and "multi-center, single-arm studies" involving patients. For automated glycemic control devices, the "ground truth" for glucose values is typically established by laboratory reference methods (e.g., YSI glucose analyzer) performed by trained clinical staff as part of the study protocol, not by experts determining a ground truth in the interpretative sense. The efficacy endpoints (HbA1c, Time in Range, hypoglycemia) are derived from objective measurements, not subjective expert assessment of an image or signal.

There is no mention of "experts" in the context of establishing ground truth for glucose values or clinical outcomes. Clinical trials are monitored by clinical investigators (physicians, endocrinologists) and their teams, who ensure data integrity and protocol adherence, but they are not establishing a "ground truth" in the way radiologists might for AI image analysis.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies where subjective interpretation is involved, such as in reading medical images. For automated glycemic control devices, clinical outcomes are based on objective measurements (e.g., sensor glucose, lab-measured HbA1c). Therefore, the concept of an adjudication method as described does not directly apply to the clinical performance data presented here. Device-related adverse events would be reported and reviewed by the study investigators and likely an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), but this isn't an "adjudication method" for the primary clinical endpoints. The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method for the objective clinical endpoints.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. MRMC studies are typically used to evaluate the performance of diagnostic devices or AI algorithms that assist human readers (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). The SmartGuard and PLGM technologies are automated insulin delivery algorithms, not diagnostic tools that human readers interpret. Therefore, the concept of "how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance" does not apply here. The studies evaluate the algorithm's direct impact on glycemic control in patients.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance

Yes, the core of the evaluation involves the "standalone" or "algorithm-only" performance in controlling glucose levels. The AHCL algorithm automatically adjusts basal insulin delivery and delivers correction boluses. The PLGM algorithm automatically suspends insulin delivery. While these systems require user input for meal boluses and setup, and interaction with alerts/alarms, the "SmartGuard technology" and "Predictive Low Glucose technology" themselves are software algorithms that function autonomously based on sensor glucose values to manage insulin delivery. The clinical studies assess the efficacy and safety of these algorithms in action within the device system (pump + CGM).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for evaluating device performance in these studies is based on objective clinical measurements and patient outcomes. Specifically:

  • Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor values: These are the primary input to the algorithm. While not explicitly stated as the ground truth for the algorithm's inputs, the accuracy of these values is critical and would have been established independently for the compatible CGMs.
  • Laboratory-measured HbA1c: A standard clinical biomarker for average blood glucose over 2-3 months.
  • Time-in-Range (TIR): Percentage of time spent with sensor glucose values within a target range (e.g., 70-180 mg/dL), derived from CGM data.
  • Time-below-range (TBR): Percentage of time spent with sensor glucose values below a predefined threshold (e.g., <70 mg/dL), derived from CGM data.
  • Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): Collected during clinical trials to assess safety.

These are physiological and clinical outcome data, not expert consensus or pathology reports in the typical sense.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide details on the sample size used for training the algorithm. This 510(k) summary focuses on the clinical data for validation of the finalized algorithms. The training set would be data used during the development phase of the algorithms, which is typically proprietary and not disclosed in 510(k) summaries. It would likely involve a large dataset of glucose profiles and insulin delivery patterns.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Similarly, the document does not describe how the ground truth for the training set was established. For algorithms predicting glucose or controlling insulin, development and training would typically rely on:

  • Retrospective or prospective real-world glucose and insulin data: Collected from individuals with diabetes using CGMs and insulin pumps, potentially under controlled conditions or in free-living settings.
  • Validated glucose measurements: Such as YSI or other reference laboratory methods for blood glucose, and accurate CGM data.
  • Clinical expert knowledge: Incorporating understanding of diabetes physiology, insulin pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and desired glycemic targets.
  • Mathematical models of glucose metabolism: To simulate physiological responses and generate synthetic data for training.

The ground truth would be the actual glucose values and the physiological responses to insulin delivery, enabling the algorithm to learn patterns and predict future glucose trends or optimal insulin dosing.

Received: November 17, 2025

Dear Maria Hategan:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

FDA's substantial equivalence determination also included the review and clearance of your Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP). Under section 515C(b)(1) of the Act, a new premarket notification is not required for a change to a device cleared under section 510(k) of the Act, if such change is consistent with an

Page 2

K253585 - Maria Hategan
Page 2

established PCCP granted pursuant to section 515C(b)(2) of the Act. Under 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3), a new premarket notification is required if there is a major change or modification in the intended use of a device, or if there is a change or modification in a device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, e.g., a significant change or modification in design, material, chemical composition, energy source, or manufacturing process. Accordingly, if deviations from the established PCCP result in a major change or modification in the intended use of the device, or result in a change or modification in the device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, then a new premarket notification would be required consistent with section 515C(b)(1) of the Act and 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3). Failure to submit such a premarket submission would constitute adulteration and misbranding under sections 501(f)(1)(B) and 502(o) of the Act, respectively.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Device Description

SmartGuard technology

SmartGuard technology, also referred to as Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) algorithm, is a software-only device intended for use by people with Type 1 diabetes, ages 7 years or older, and by people with Type 2 diabetes, ages 18 years or older. It is an interoperable automated glycemic controller (iAGC) that is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM), compatible interoperable Medtronic continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and compatible alternate controller enabled (ACE) pumps to automatically adjust the delivery of basal insulin and to automatically deliver correction boluses based on sensor glucose (SG) values.

The AHCL algorithm resides on the compatible ACE pump, which serves as the host device. It is meant to be integrated in a compatible ACE pump and is an embedded part of the ACE pump firmware.

Inputs to the AHCL algorithm (e.g., SG values, user inputs) are received from the ACE pump (host device), and outputs from the AHCL algorithm (e.g., insulin delivery commands) are sent by the algorithm to the ACE pump. As an embedded part of the firmware, the AHCL algorithm does not connect to or receive data from compatible CGMs; instead, sensor glucose (SG) values or other inputs received by the ACE pump from compatible CGMs via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology are transmitted to the embedded AHCL algorithm.

The AHCL algorithm works in conjunction with the ACE pump and is responsible for controlling insulin delivery when the ACE pump is in Auto Mode. It includes adaptive control algorithms that autonomously and continually adapt to the ever-changing insulin requirements of each individual.

The AHCL algorithm requires specific therapy settings (target setpoint, insulin-to-carb ratios and active insulin time) that need to be established with the help of a health care provider (HCP) before activation. It also requires five (5) consecutive hours of insulin delivery history, a minimum of two (2) days of total daily dose (TDD) of insulin, a valid sensor glucose (SG) and blood glucose (BG) values to start automated insulin delivery.

When activated, the AHCL algorithm adjusts the insulin dose at five-minute intervals based on CGM data. A basal insulin dose (auto basal) is commanded by the AHCL algorithm to manage glucose levels to the user's target setpoint of 100 mg/dL, 110 mg/dL or 120 mg/dL. The user can

Page 8

also set a temporary target of 150 mg/dL for up to 24 hours. In addition, under certain conditions the algorithm can also automatically command correction boluses (auto correction bolus) without user input.

Meal boluses are the responsibility of the user. The AHCL algorithm includes an integrated bolus calculation feature for user-initiated boluses for meals. When the user inputs their carbohydrate intake, the AHCL algorithm automatically calculates a bolus amount based off available glucose information, entered carbohydrate amount and other patient parameters.

The AHCL algorithm contains several layers of "safeguards" (mitigations) to provide protection against over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin to reduce risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, respectively.

The AHCL algorithm is a software-only device and does not have a user interface (UI). The compatible ACE pump provides a UI to the user to configure the therapy settings and interact with the algorithm. The AHCL-related alerts/alarms are displayed and managed by the pump.

Predictive Low Glucose technology

Predictive Low Glucose technology, also referred to as the Predictive Low Glucose Management (PLGM) algorithm is a software-only device intended for use by people with Type 1 diabetes, ages 7 years or older, and by people with Type 2 diabetes, ages 18 years or older. It is an interoperable automated glycemic controller (iAGC) that is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM), compatible interoperable Medtronic continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and compatible alternate controller enabled (ACE) pumps to automatically suspend delivery of insulin when the sensor glucose value falls below or is predicted to fall below predefined threshold values.

The PLGM algorithm resides on the compatible ACE Pump, which serves as the host device. It is meant to be integrated in a compatible ACE pump and is an embedded part of the ACE pump firmware.

Inputs to PLGM algorithm (e.g., sensor glucose values, user inputs) are received from the ACE pump (host device), and outputs from PLGM algorithm (e.g., suspend/resume commands) are sent by the algorithm to the ACE pump. As an embedded part of the ACE pump firmware, the PLGM algorithm does not connect to or receive data from compatible CGMs; instead, sensor glucose (SG) values or other inputs are received by the ACE pump from compatible CGMs via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology are transmitted to the embedded PLGM algorithm.

Page 9

The PLGM algorithm works in conjunction with the ACE pump. When enabled, the PLGM algorithm is able to suspend insulin delivery for a minimum of 30 minutes and for a maximum of 2 hours based on current or predicted sensor glucose values. It will automatically resume insulin delivery when maximum suspend time of 2 hours has elapsed or when underlying conditions resolve. The user is also able to manually resume insulin at any time.

The PLGM algorithm is a software-only device and does not have a user interface (UI). The compatible ACE pump provides the UI to configure therapy settings and interact with the algorithm. The PLGM-related alerts/alarms are displayed and managed by the pump.

For all subjects 7-80 years of age, the Fiasp (insulin aspart), faster-acting insulin injection was used with the MiniMed 780G system and Guardian 4 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) during the Study period with no device-related serious adverse events reported.

The pivotal clinical data with Fiasp (provided in P160017/S125 and in this submission) confirmed the safety and effectiveness of Fiasp (insulin aspart), faster-acting insulin injection when used in combination with the MiniMed 780G system. The results also confirm that use of Fiasp (insulin aspart) with the MiniMed 780G Auto Correction feature was associated with improved glucose control in all age groups.

Supplemental Clinical Data (AHCL Algorithm)

In Silico Simulation with Guardian 4 Sensor and AHCL (in Type 1) – provided in K251217

In-silico studies and results for AHCL in Type 1 were provided in K251217, and the study results provided in this submission are comparable for the compatible configurations of the MiniMed 780G system when used with either the Simplera Sync CGM or the Guardian 4 CGM.

In Silico Simulation with Simplera Sync Sensor and AHCL (in Type 2) – provided in this submission [approved under P160017/S124]

The Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) virtual patient (VP) model matched the T2D adult real patient (RP) population and generated outcomes that are equivalent for time in range (70-180 mg/dL), glucose management indicator (GMI), and a number of other glucose metrics.. In summary, the data shows robust equivalency of characteristics and outcomes between the T2D VPs and T2D RPs in a clinical study setting in CIP341 (G210352) Phase 1 for the AHCL algorithm and Guardian 4 sensor (G4S) CGM and CIP341 Phase 2 for the AHCL algorithm) and the DS5 CGM for adults with T2D.

Additionally, the virtual clinical trial in T2D subjects predicted the safety and effectiveness of use of the AHCL algorithm and the G4S CGM, when assessed according to the thresholds

evaluated in CIP341 Phase 2. The thresholds, which reflect the ADA recommendation for percentage time in target range (70-180 mg/dL), were exceeded with statistical significance. These observations support the expectation that real T2D patients could experience a TIR that is at least as favorable as, or significantly greater than, the recommended ADA TIR target when using AHCL with the G4S CGM.

In Silico Simulation with Guardian 4 CGM and AHCL (in Type 1) utilizing Lyumjev and Fiasp insulins – provided in this submission [approved under P160017/S125]

The VP model matched the RP population and generated outcomes that are equivalent for time in range (70-180 mg/dL), GMI, and a number of other glucose metrics. In summary, the data in these analyses shows robust equivalency of characteristics and outcomes between the T1D VPs and RPs in a clinical study setting in CIP335 (G220010) and CIP336 (G210307) for the AHCL algorithm and the G4S CGM with Lyumjev and Fiasp.

The virtual clinical trial predicted the safety and effectiveness of use of the AHCL algorithm and the G4S and Simplera Sync CGMs when assessed according to the thresholds evaluated in CIP335 and CIP336 for Lyumjev and Fiasp for both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
