Notes ** MiniMed provides a size for the 508 of 3 x 1.9 x 0.87 in. for its 508 pump at their site and in handouts. Its real size is 3.4 x 1.7(avg) x 0.8 in.
*** Disetronic lists the dimensions of their D-Tron Pump as 4.2 X 1.9 X 0.9 in., but measurement shows the D-Tron is only 4.1 x 1.7 x 0.8 in, excluding the cap to which the hub attaches.
**** AAA batteries are easy to find, but the A23 battery for the Paradigm remote is not and has a relatively short life. When the pump battery is changed in early models, the pump battery must be changed within 60 seconds to avoid loss of basal rates and history from the pump. Keep AAA batteries handy, along with a written backup of current basals.
