Insights

FDA approval of Simplera Sync sensor strengthens Medtronic's diabetes portfolio, expanding options for MiniMed 780G system users with launch planned for fall 2025.

The FDA's approval of Medtronic's Simplera Sync™ sensor represents a strategic enhancement to the company's diabetes management portfolio. This disposable, all-in-one continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor specifically designed for the MiniMed™ 780G system brings valuable user-experience improvements including a simplified two-step insertion process and elimination of fingersticks when used with SmartGuard™ technology.

What's particularly notable about this development is how it strengthens Medtronic's competitive positioning in the growing CGM market. The MiniMed™ 780G system's core differentiators include its proprietary Meal Detection™ technology and adaptive algorithm that automatically anticipates and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes. Real-world data demonstrates users achieve time-in-range above 70% with optimal settings, exceeding international targets.

The product roadmap indicates a U.S. launch in fall 2025, suggesting a phased commercialization strategy. While this timeline means revenue impact won't be immediate, it solidifies Medtronic's commitment to innovation in diabetes care—a key therapeutic area for the company.

This approval expands patient choice within Medtronic's ecosystem, as users can now select between the Guardian™ 4 sensor and Simplera Sync™ sensor. The enhanced flexibility could improve patient satisfaction and potentially increase adoption rates of Medtronic's integrated diabetes management platform.

For a company focused on diversified growth across multiple therapeutic areas, incremental innovations like this help maintain competitiveness in established markets while the company pursues breakthroughs in emerging technologies elsewhere in its portfolio.

Latest approval expands Medtronic CGM portfolio in the U.S.

GALWAY, Ireland, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Simplera Sync™ sensor for use with the MiniMed™ 780G system. With this approval, the MiniMed™ 780G system now offers more flexibility for users of the company's most advanced insulin delivery system featuring Meal Detection™ technology with both the Guardian™ 4 sensor and Simplera Sync™ sensor.

The Simplera Sync™ is a disposable, all-in-one sensor that requires no fingersticks* with SmartGuard™ or overtape and features a simple, two-step insertion process. It is the company's newest addition to its CGM portfolio, which expands options and provides greater flexibility for users.**

The MiniMed™ 780G system's adaptive algorithm automatically anticipates, adjusts, and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes, 24/7 – working around the clock so users can focus on what matters.§ It's the only system featuring Meal Detection™ technology, which detects rising sugar levels and delivers more insulin as needed to help users keep glucose levels in range more often – even when users occasionally forget to dose insulin for snacks or meals or underestimate their carbs. The system uses a "treat to target" approach and flexible glucose targets as low as 100 mg/dL, which, combined with its adaptive algorithm allows it to more closely mirror the glucose levels of someone not living with diabetes. Real-world data of the system shows global users consistently achieve time in range above international targets of 70% when using optimal settings (active insulin time of two hours and 100 mg/dL target glucose).1-3 It is also the only system that works with the world's only infusion set that lasts up to 7 days so that users only have to change their infusion set once per week and can experience 96% fewer injections compared to multiple daily injections.

"We're committed to driving innovation that makes life easier for those living with diabetes so they can forget about their diabetes as much as possible throughout the day," said Que Dallara, EVP and president of Medtronic Diabetes. "Our MiniMed™ 780G system delivers advanced diabetes technology for so many around the world, and we're excited to continue evolving this experience with expanded CGM options —including our Simplera Sync™ sensor, which we look forward to bringing to people living with diabetes in the U.S."

A limited launch of the Simplera Sync™ sensor will begin in the U.S. in the fall of 2025. Today, the MiniMed™ 780G system can be used with the Guardian™ 4 sensor.
