Can I use insulin pumps in the AQUAPAC?
Since many inquiries for waterproof bags for insulin pumps are received, Aquapac UK from Imperial College London has carried out an examination of the Aquapac models "Radio Microphone" (identical to the bag 158 insulin pump *) and "Connected Electronics 558" * (is with the identical guide rail of the 158 * equipped) with insulin pumps.
The results show that in some cases, the flow of insulin can be reduced by closing the Aquapac. Small flow rates are particularly difficult. Therefore Aquapac assumes no liability for the consequences of using insulin pumps in Aquapacs. Use is at the discretion of the user. Aquapac has been recommended that users of insulin pumps in Aquapacs regularly check their blood sugar levels if they do not follow our recommendations.
The tests were carried out by the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine with a Roche Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump in August 2006 - at an ambient temperature of 20 ° C and insulin quantities of 2 and 10 units / hour.
The amounts of insulin delivered over 60 minutes were measured as follows:
2U / h without Aquapac: 0.0131g (flow rate 100%)
2U / h in Aquapac radio microphone / insulin pump: 0.0106g (flow rate 81%)
2U / h in Aquapac radio microphone / insulin pump (2nd test model): 0.0056g (flow rate 42%)
2U / h in Aquapac Connected Electronics: 0.0121g (flow rate 92%)
10U / h without Aquapac: 0.0864g (flow rate 100%)
10U / h in Aquapac radio microphone / insulin pump: 0.0878g (flow rate 100%)
10U / h in Aquapac Connected Electronics: 0.0903g (flow rate 100%)
What size fits?
Maximum size of equipment to fit in case:
Length: 6in/150mm
Circumference: 6in/150mm
The belt has a length of 45,3in/115cm
What stops the water getting in?
The connected electronics are tested to IPX6, which means as waterproof as you can get without actually immersing the bags underwater. Fire-hose proof! The testing: Protected against heavy seas - Water projected at all angles through a 12.5mm nozzle at a flow rate of 100 liters/min at a pressure of 100kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters. Floating on the surface is no problem, submersible for a very short time.
What keeps water, sand & dust out?
The patented Aquaclip® seals the case - with a simple twist of a couple of levers. It's been tested to the toughest international waterproofing standards. If you haven't seen one before, read our quick guide to the Aquaclip.
What our customers say
"To Aquapac. My Name is Susi Koch and I'd like to let you know that your Aquapac cases have been a wonderful find. I have a 6 year old son, Eric, who is an Insulin Dependant Diabetic and wears the insulin pump. We have discovered that your small wire-thru case is the perfect size to hold a small insulin pump. It is so much easier to go to the pool and especially the beach now that we don't have to worry about the pump getting sand and debris in it. The neoprene case is the perfect compliment to the small wire-thru case in that it enables Eric to wear the pump comfortably. I own a small company where I design and sell insulin pump packs for kids and adults. I've added some of your Aquapac cases to my website and I have to say that customers are very excited. Thank You!"

"Ich war vergangene Woche auf
Wellness-Urlaub in einem Hotel mit einer großen Thermalbadelandschaft.
Dabei war ich jeden Tag mindestens einmal, oft jedoch zweimal pro Tag im
Wasser. Da ich nicht abkoppelbare Katheter benutze, war es mir sehr
wichtig, die Pumpe zum Schwimmen nicht ablegen zu müssen. Ich muss
sagen: Das Aquapac für Insulinpumpen hat mir dabei sehr gute Dienste
geleistet! Ich habe die Pumpe ins Aquapac getan, das Aquapac korrekt
verschlossen und mir es um den Bauch geschnallt. Das Band habe ich dabei
so weit geöffnet, dass das Aquapac mit der Pumpe an der
Wasseroberfläche geschwommen ist. Die Pumpe ist dabei vollkommen trocken
geblieben. Dadurch konnte ich auf ständiges Messen verzichten sowie auf
regelmäßige Insulingaben mit Spritze und Pen. Ein riesengroßes
Dankeschön dafür!!!!"
Was ich aber zuvor gemacht habe, ist: an meiner Pumpe habe ich den
Reservoirfachdachdeckel und den Batteriefachdeckel ausgetauscht, um zu
gewährleisten, dass durch diese „Löcher“ kein Wasser eindringen kann,
sollte es einmal passieren, dass das Aquapac durch meine eigene
Unachtsamkeit nicht mehr dicht hält. Das Silikon am Reservoirfachdeckel
und das Gummi des Batteriefachdeckels haben ebenfalls kein Wasser ins
Pumpengehäuse eindringen lassen. Außerdem habe ich 110 Zentimeter lange
Katheter-Schläuche benutzt, um sicherzugehen, dass ich mir den Katheter
nicht aus Versehen aus der Haut reiße. Den Katheter habe ich auf der
Haut mit zwei zusätzlichen Pflastern gesichert.
