The sensors are warrantied for 7 days. In the app it says they have x/7 left to run. When we get to Monday I'll see what the 14 day option does.One other interesting factoid is the 7 or 14 day usage mentioned above. I asked about this and she explained that each sensor will only last for 7 days (half the life of a Libre sensor). However, you can choose whether the transmitter will run for 7 or 14 days.
This one is interesting. For me so far, there are two clear phases on the sensor. Days 1-3 and day 4 onwards.I am very curious to see whether the Medtrum varies in accuracy over the life of the sensor, because that is exactly what happens to me, with the Libre, which is most accurate between days 3 and 13 of the sensor life.
I thought similar about the size of the transmitter. It stands about 2mm higher than the Dexcom G5, however, the pictures in the blog over-accentuate the difference. So far I've caught it a couple more times than the Dexcom, but it's very solidly attached. There will be a later review regarding life of the sensor, both physically and hopefully better view on overall accuracy over its life.The sensors look pretty bulky so potential to get 'knocked off' looks high, however the fact it can be used with an iphone (regardless of model) is a plus, price wise it's on a par with the libre when bought through Superdrug who are retailing at £35. It would have to stand up to 14 days though to have a fighting chance and a price drop would also help.
Conversations with various Medtrum people indicate that the sensors are restartable,
Haha! I did indeed ask how long a transmitter would last, and got the stock phrase 'it has a year's warranty'.
So I would have every expectation that it should be still functioning if it ran for 52 consecutive sensors, with however many recharges during that period. But that is my interpretation. The lady on the phone just gave me the warranty statement.
My mental arithmatic breaks the cost down to approx £2 a week if you bought it on the current special offer, and more than double that if you bought it at the standard cost of £225.
I haven't found a webpage with any way to buy online, except for that pesky non-functioning Test page.
Looks like at the moment, ordering may be only over the phone.
I would imagine that they will add online ordering as the demand increases.
When I rang them I used the phone number Tim gives in his review (link in OP of this thread)
Hi I have seen a rep today at a pump day and they are £140 for 4 which can be set for 14 days via the app and restarted, although 7 days is what they tell patients. The inserter is attached to the sensor for single use and the transmitter is free with a 1 yr warranty. I am going to try them as currently have a Medtronic G6 which has not been very accurate for me. Finger crossed this is better recommend by my pump team also so fingers crossed.
No, not really. £225 for the starter pack of 4 sensors and 1 transmitter. Effectively the sensors cost £25 when you buy the transmitter.Transmitter is free? (If you buy 4 sensors) really!?
It's in Tim's message above, you need to phone them.where can you order them from?
