Battery

Your pump runs on one AA battery. Use AA alkaline batteries that have a minimum capacity of 2500 mAh. Do not use lithium, carbon zinc, or nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries. If you prefer to use rechargeable batteries, use NiMH batteries that have a minimum capacity of 1500 mAh. If you use rechargeable batteries, always use a battery charger recommended by the battery manufacturer. Keep extra batteries on hand.

Using batteries other than those recommended by Disetronic

Medical Systems may significantly reduce battery usage

CAUTION

time. Batteries other than those recommended could leak

 

and corrode the battery contacts within your insulin pump.

 

Therefore, using batteries not supplied or recommended

 

by Disetronic Medical Systems, Inc. may void the warranty.

The operating temperature of the battery must be between 41°F and 104°F (+5°C and +40°C). The life of any battery is affected by how you use your insulin pump, your personal settings, delivery rates, temperature and other factors. With typical pump use [50 U/day using U100 insulin; operating temperature 72°F ± 6°F (22°C ± 3°C)], pump battery life is about four weeks using alkaline batteries and one week using rechargeable batteries.
