Frequently Asked Questions
PDA battery:A full charged PDA can be used for about 2~3 days. Frequent operation will speed up the power consumption. It is recommended to charge as needed. It takes an hour and a half for your PDA's battery to be fully charged.
Pump battery: it requires about an hour of charging. The battery can last up to 7 days, depending on the total daily dose (Example: if the TDD is 54 units, one battery can last for 5 days when fully charged). Operating the pump plunger multiple times will increase power consumption.
The patch insulin pump uses specialized motor technology for enhanced reliability and precision. To prevent malfunctions, the control system incorporates a robust monitoring mechanism that continuously verifies the motor’s operation, ensuring accurate insulin delivery and minimizing the risk of overdose.
