Is the MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time System affected by computers, cell phones or airport detectors?
The MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time Insulin Pump and Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is designed to withstand common electromagnetic interference, including airport security systems. The Paradigm Link monitor and transmitter send information to the insulin pump using radio frequency. If other devices that use radio frequency are in use, such as cell phones, cordless phones or wireless networks, they may prevent communication between the insulin pump and the meter. This interference will not cause incorrect data to be sent and will not cause any harm to your insulin pump or meter. Moving away from or turning off these other devices may allow communication.
