Insulin pump and RF accessories
The pump, meter, transmitter 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 on an aircraft. Manually enter
your BG. Do not use the sensor feature while on an aircraft.
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 HelpLine.
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/transmitter/meter
➠ Increase the separation between the insulin pump/remote control/transmitter/meter and the
device that is receiving/emitting interference
The meter and the transmitter transmit 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” to correct interference problems you may have.
If you have questions, please contact the Medtronic MiniMed 24 Hour HelpLine.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications to the devices not expressly approved by Medtronic
MiniMed could void your ability to operate the equipment.
