MySentry Monitor
Introduction 5
Required distance
MySentry only displays real-time glucose values and alarms/alerts that are transmitted by a Paradigm
523/723 insulin pump. The required distance between the pump and the Outpost is six feet (1.8
meters) or less. The distance between the Outpost and the Monitor can be up to 100 feet (30.5
meters). If a pump is not within the required distance from the MySentry Monitor or MySentry Outpost,
then real-time glucose values and any associated alarms or alerts from the Paradigm 523/723 insulin
pump might not be received and displayed on the MySentry Monitor. Refer to your Paradigm 523/723
insulin pump for real-time glucose values and alarms or alerts.
Additional safety instructions
• Please refer to the Paradigm 523/723 user guide for pump warnings.
• Read, follow, and keep all instructions identified within this guide.
• Heed all warnings identified on the product, and within this guide.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where it exits from the device.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, MySentry should not be exposed to water or moisture of any
kind, including, but not limited to, dripping or splashing. Do place the Monitor or Outpost near objects
filled with water, such as vases, sinks or bathtubs.
• Do not block any ventilation openings.
• Install MySentry in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when MySentry operates
abnormally or has been damaged in any way, to include: dropping, crushing, exposure to rain, water or
other liquids, or power supply cord or plug damage. If the MySentry is damaged in any way, refer to the
Paradigm 523/723 pump for all operational and glycemic information.
