Notice
Insulin pump and RF accessories
The pump, Paradigm Link meter and remote control comply with the United States Federal Communications
Commission and international standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
Do not use the RF meter to send your BG reading to the pump while onboard aircraft. Manually enter your BG.
These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesirable operation. It does not interfere with any RF signals transmitted from
outside sources.
These standards are designed to provide reasonable protection against excessive radio frequency interference and
prevent undesirable operation of the device from unwanted electromagnetic interference. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
1. This device has been tested and found to comply with the regulations governing such devices in your area. For
the specific regulation and test results for your area, please contact the Medtronic MiniMed 24-hour Product
Help Line.
2. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if installed and used in accordance
with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If the device does cause
interference to radio or television reception, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
■
Reorient or relocate the insulin pump/remote control
■
Increase the separation between the insulin pump/remote control and the device that is
receiving/emitting interference
The Paradigm Link meter transmits information to the pump using radio frequency. If other devices that use
radio frequency are in use, such as cell phones, cordless phones and wireless networks, they may prevent
communication between the pump and the meter. This interference will not cause any incorrect data to be
sent and will not cause any harm to your pump or meter. Moving away from or turning off these other devices
may allow communication. Refer to chapter 9, “Troubleshooting and alarms” to correct interference problems
you may have.
If you have questions, please contact the Medtronic MiniMed 24-hour Product Help Line.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications to the devices not expressly approved by
Medtronic MiniMed could void your ability to operate the equipment.
