Medtronic
sends out a quarterly news letter to insulin pump users and the
following statement was in the winter edition.
Cold + Dry = Static Electricity Concerns
Winter's cold, dry weather brings more
static electricity than normal. As you may know, all electronic
devices, including insulin pumps, are susceptible to the effects
of static electricity. While the Paradigm pump meets international
statndards for static electricity exposure, your pump and screen
may become "frozen". This could result in insulin delivery
interruption without an accompanying alarm or screen alert. Be assured
that in the unlikely event this occurs, it is easily detected because
your pump will be unresponsive to button presses.
