General Technical Data
Barometric pressure During operation or storage in its shipping case: 50 to 106 kPA (500 to 1060 mbar) (do not
exceed 3000 meters [10 000 feet] above sea level)
During transport: 50 to 106 kPA (500 to 1060 mbar)
Power supply One 1.5 volt AA Alkaline (LR6) or Lithium (FR6) battery or one 1.2 volt rechargeable NiMH
AA (HR6) battery. Batteries should have a minimum capacity of 2500 mAh. Use only a
battery charger ofcially recommended by the battery manufacturer. Do not use carbon zinc
or nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries.
Lifetime of battery If used in a typical usage pattern (50 U / day using U100 insulin; operating temperature
23 °C ±2 °C [73 °F ±4 °F]) the battery life is approximately:
Alkaline: 70 days for Bluetooth
®
off; 30 days for Bluetooth
®
on
Lithium: 200 days for Bluetooth
®
off; 80 days for Bluetooth
®
on
NiMH: 100 days for Bluetooth
®
off; 40 days for Bluetooth
®
on
Data storage time The time and date are safely stored in the memory for about 1 hour after the battery has
been removed. Other insulin pump settings (the hourly basal rates, remaining cartridge
content, bolus increments and active user menu) and the event memory (bolus history,
history of daily insulin totals, Temporary Basal Rate history, alarm history) are saved,
regardless of battery voltage and the time your insulin pump has been without a battery.
