When Not to Wear Your Pump
Electromagnetic Fields and Hazardous Areas
Do not use your pump around electromagnetic fields such as radar or antenna
installations, high-voltage sources, X-Ray sources, MRI, CAT scan, and all other
sources of electrical current as they may cause your pump not to work. Insulin
delivery may stop and an error E7: ELECTRONIC ERROR may occur.
Always stop and remove your pump before you enter these areas.
See “Appendix A: Technical Data” (page 165) for more information about
electromagnetic fields.
Your pump has been tested and complies with the regulations regarding
unintentional electromagnetic interference. Security systems in airports as
well as anti-theft monitoring devices, such as those in department stores,
should not affect the functioning of your pump.
Because there are so many devices, such as
cellular phones, that give out
electromagnetic radiation, the influence of some such devices on your pump
cannot be ruled out. It is a good idea to keep your pump at least 4 inches
(10 cm) away from such devices while the other devices are turned on.
Do not use your pump in hyperbaric chambers and in hazardous areas of any
kind, such as areas where explosive or flammable gases or vapors could exist.
This could affect insulin delivery and/or lead to harm.
Your pump is designed to work in normal barometric conditions (from 700
to 1,060 mbar).
