I have been happily attached to a Minimed 508 for 7 years.
I went to Oil refinery the other day for a job interview. Mobile phones are not allowed on site and have to be checked in at reception. On hearing this I decided to remove my pump.
Does anyone have advice on the Intrinsic nature of Insulin pumps i.e are insulin pumps intrinsic? Is the Minimed 508 intrinsic? By the data sheet for the pump the explosion test hasn't been done! Are they any Insulin pumps on the market that have been classed as Intrinsically safe?
Intrinsically safe as I undestand it is that the pump will not cause a spark that could leed to a explosion!
My actual hunch is that some testing must have been carried out on this otherwise we would be asked to remove the pump or a mobile phone before filling up the car at the petrol station.
Also if anyone wears a pump and works on a Oil refinery and has any experience of the issues I raise please pass on your advice.
Best wishes Bamboo
