Description
Product Overview
This case has two very different uses.
It serves to waterproof insulin pumps. And also to waterproof small radio microphones. Only £40, whichever use you need it for!
Product Features and Benefits.
It’s made of a thin but remarkably tough material called TPU. Thin enough that you can operate all the controls normally through it. And it’s very light – only 105g including the belt.
The TC sealing system seals quickly around the insulin pump tube or radio mic wire. We use a patented silicone-foam gasket in combination with unique 2-stage closures to ensure a fool-proof seal. Everything stays in one piece even when open.
The TC clamp will seal around a wire or tube of up to 2.5mm/0.1in diameter.
Also protects from dust, dirt and sand.
Supplied with a belt, or feed your own belt through the case.
Like most of our cases it’ll float if you drop it in the drink.
The seams are high-frequency welded to form a super-strong bond.
There are two other case sizes you might want to look at: the Small Wire-Through Case 548, and the Connected Electronics Case 558.
Waterproofness Warning!: This case features our ‘TC’ Aquaclip which makes the case waterproof to IPX7. Temporary immersion is fine, but not continuous immersion.
Extended Warranty/Guarantee
Wondering about a cheaper case from another company? Well what warranty do they offer? We combine an unrivalled Full 5-Year Warranty* with exceptional after-sales service. We very much doubt you’ll get anything like it from any other brand.
(*According to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act 1975 a warranty must be described as either “Full” or “Limited”. These terms are very strictly defined. If a warranty isn’t described as one or the other, then beware. Similarly you should beware of so-called “Lifetime” warranties where Lifetime may actually mean no longer than the manufacturer’s estimate of the expected life of the product.)
Extra Stuff
Aquapac commissioned research by Imperial College London into the use of its cases after receiving a large number of customer enquiries regarding their suitability for use with insulin pumps. Results show that, in some circumstances, insulin flow rate can be reduced by the case. In particular, low flow rates are impeded, and as such Aquapac can make no claim regarding the suitability of these cases with insulin pumps. Use of these cases with insulin pumps is entirely at the discretion of the user.
Aquapac has been advised to recommend that users of Aquapac cases with insulin pumps regularly check their blood sugar levels.
The tests were conducted by Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine using a Roche Accu-Check Spirit insulin pump at a temperature of 20C at flow rates of 2U/hr and 10U/hr. The amounts of insulin delivered over 60 minutes observed were as follows:
2U/hr not in a case – 0.0131g (flow rate of 100%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 150 – 0.0106g (flow rate of 81%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 150 – 0.0056g (2nd test model)(flow rate of 42%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 550 – 0.0121g (flow rate 92%)
10U/hr not in case – 0.0864g (flow rate of 100%)
10U/hr in Aquapac 150 – 0.0878g (flow rate of 100%)
10U/hr in Aquapac 550 – 0.0903g (flow rate of 100%).
