Diabetes Management System User Guide | Chapter 6
When you turn the Caps on, the display will
alert you if it is time to charge the Caps (less
than 25% battery power remaining). You are
able to charge the Cap battery when the Caps
are on the insulin pens.
6.5 Charging Your Caps
Each Cap has an internal rechargeable lithium ion battery. Caps should
have enough power to last 2 weeks on a full charge with typical usage.
Cap screens will display a battery icon showing the approximate
percentage of battery power left. Cap screens indicate when battery
power is less than 25% so you’ll know when to recharge. The charger
that comes with Bigfoot Unity will work with both Caps for charging.
Note:
• When the Caps are turned off they will continue to display the
insulin name. This feature does not require battery power.
• You should leave your insulin pens inside the Caps when charging
them, but you will not be able to use the Caps until you are done
charging.
CAUTION:
When you flag an insulin dose as “not taken,” it is
for your information only. It does not change the “time since last
dose” displayed on the Caps.
• The White Cap will not display a correction dose for 3 hours
after it records a dose (even if you flag the dose as not taken). If
your glucose is high, you will need to use a backup method to
determine if a correction dose is needed.
• The Black Cap will re-set the timer after it records a dose (even
if you flag the dose as not taken). If the “time since last dose” on
your Black Cap is not correct, you may not know when to take
your next dose of long-acting insulin. Follow your health care
provider’s instructions if you do not know whether or not you took
a long-acting dose of insulin.
If Bigfoot Unity records a dose when you did not actually take one,
you can “flag” the dose as “not taken” in the MY HISTORY List View
section of the App. This will keep your dosing history more accurate
in the App, but it will not change the “time since last dose” that is
displayed on your Caps. See the
MY HISTORY
section (8.2) for more
information.
