Hardware consists of RF transceiver in plastic housing with USB Type-A connector; form factor resembles USB flash drive. Used in home or clinical settings by patients or clinicians. Device connects to PC USB port; recognized as standard USB device. Enables data transfer to Medtronic diabetes management software applications. Facilitates clinical decision-making by allowing providers to review therapy data; benefits patients through improved data accessibility for diabetes management. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics RF transceiver; USB Type-A interface; plastic housing; form factor similar to USB flash drive; operates via Paradigm-compatible RF telemetry; connects to PC/USB hub. ## Regulatory Identification An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm. ## Predicate Devices - Com-Link Communication System, Model MMT-7304 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The hardware component of the CareLink USB Connector consists of a radio-frequency (RF) transceiver enclosed in a plastic housing and one USB connector that is compatible with a type A (female) USB port of a personal computer (PC) or a USB hub. The CareLink USB Connector has a form factor similar to a USB flash memory stick and will by recognized by the PC as a USB device. The CareLink USB Connector is designed for use with Medtronic MiniMed devices that use Paradigm radiofrequency telemetry. Data is transferred between Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm RF compatible devices and a personal computer (PC) using select Medtronic MiniMed data management software applications. Intended Use of the Device: The Medtronic CareLink USB Connector is indicated for use by patients at home and clinicians in a medical office setting to facilitate communication between Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices that use Paradigm-compatible RF telemetry and a personal computer that uses data management application software. Comparison of the Technological Features of the New Device and Predicate Device: The modified device and the lawfully marketed predicate devices provide similar function, and use radiofrequency technology to communicate. The primary difference between the two devices is physical, in that, the new device is designed to connect to the computer's USB port instead of a serial port. These modifications do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.

Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 OCT 1 7 2007 Ms. Jodie Rogers Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist Medtronic MiniMed, Incorporated 18000 Devonshire Street Northridge, California 91325 Re: K070438 Trade/Device Name: Medtronic MiniMed CareLink™ USB Connector (Model: MMT-7305) Regulation Number: 21 CFR 880.5725 Regulation Name: Infusion Pump Regulatory Class: II Product Code: MRZ Dated: October 4, 2007 Received: October 5, 2007 Dear Ms. Rogers: 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 (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. 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. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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. {2}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Rogers 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
