PDA Battery: A fully charged PDA lasts about 2-3 days, though frequent use may drain the battery faster. It’s recommended to charge as needed, and it takes approximately 1.5 hours for a full charge.

Pump Battery: The pump battery takes about an hour to charge and can last up to 7 days, depending on the total daily dose (e.g., with a TDD of 54 units, a fully charged battery lasts 5 days). Frequent operation of the pump plunger will increase power consumption.

The patch insulin pump employs a specialized motor technology, designed for reliability and precision. To safeguard against potential malfunctions, the control system includes a robust monitoring mechanism. This system continuously verifies the motor's operation, ensuring accurate insulin delivery and mitigating the risk of overdose.

You can upload your data to the Equil cloud service, allowing your medical service provider to review and monitor it remotely.

No, body temperature does not significantly affect the effectiveness of insulin with patch insulin pumps. These pumps are less impacted by temperature because the pump base separates the device from the skin, and the insulin reservoir is not in direct contact with it. This was confirmed in a clinical trial involving 76 diabetic patients, who wore patch insulin pumps for 6 days and achieved positive clinical results.

The Equil reservoir has a 200-unit insulin storage capacity, allowing it to last for 3 to 7 days, depending on your daily insulin consumption. This helps reduce the risk of changes in insulin quality.

The pump and PDA will emit an alarm sound or light in two cases:

1. When the pump is in pause mode, an alarm sounds every 15 minutes.
2. During automatic shutdown, the pump will issue a warning 15 minutes before the set shutdown time. After the set time, it will automatically stop the infusion and continue emitting vibration, sound, and light alarms until the alarm is cleared.

1. Follow the “Change Reservoir/Battery” instructions to remove the pump.
2. Remove and assemble the pump, replace only the battery (no need to replace the reservoir, base, or cannula).
3. After changing the battery, tap the “Prime Reservoir” button to check for a drop of insulin at the needle tip. If yes, tap next.
4. Reattach the pump to the base and click "Next" when done.
5. Since the base hasn’t been replaced, skip the “Prime Cannula” step.

1. If the insulin in the reservoir is running low or has been inserted for more than 3 days, follow the "Change Reservoir/Battery" instructions to replace the consumables.
2. If there is still sufficient insulin in the reservoir and it has been inserted for less than 3 days, remove the pump. Tap the “Prime Reservoir” button to check for a drop of insulin at the needle tip:

If yes: Reattach the pump to the base and continue use.

If no: Replace the reservoir.
Note: The blockage alarm is triggered when the average insulin infusion blockage reaches 2.5U. During this period, monitor blood sugar levels and administer subcutaneous insulin if needed.

During a dual wave infusion, changing the reservoir will cause the plunger to retract, interrupting the bolus infusion. Be sure to check the history, subtract the immediate and extended doses that have already been delivered, and then set a square bolus with the remaining extended time.

If you're not planning to eat and it's a correction bolus, then a standard bolus without the extended portion should be administered.
