One 1.5 volt AA Alkaline battery or
one rechargeable NiMH AA battery.
Alkaline batteries should have a
minimum capacity of 2500 mAh and
NiMH AA rechargeable batteries a mini-
mum capacity of 1500 mAh. Use only a
battery charger officially recommended
by the battery manufacturer.
If used in a typical usage pattern
(50 U/day using U100 insulin;
operating temperature 22°C 3 °C
[72°F 6 °F]) the battery life is approxi-
mately four weeks for alkaline batteries
and one week for rechargeable batteries.
The time and date is safely stored in
the memory for about 1 hour after the
battery has been removed. Your insulin
pump's 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 time
your insulin pump has been without a
battery.
