  • Accu-Chek Combo
  • Accu-Chek Insight
  • DanaR
  • DanaRS

pumpy. Podrobnosti o stave ďalších púmp, ktoré majú potenciál fungovať s AndroidAPS sú uvedené na stránke Budúce (možné) pumpy.

Ľudia, ktorí sa rozhodujú pre novú pumpu, sa často pýtajú, na ktorú pumpu prejsť, alebo ktorú kúpiť. Details of the various distributors is in this spreadsheet, please share the details of yours if not already listed.

The Combo and the Insight are solid pumps, and loopable. The advantages of the DanaR/RS as the pump of choice however are:

  • The DanaR/RS connects to almost any phone with Android >= 5.1 without the need to flash lineage. If your phone breaks you usually can find easily any phone that works with the DanaR/RS pumps as quick replacement... not so easy with the Combo. (This might change in the future when Android 8.1 gets more popular)
  • Initial pairing is simpler with the Dana* RS. But you usually only do this once so it only impacts if you want to test a new feature with different pumps.
  • So far the Combo works with screen parsing. In general that works great but it is slow. For looping this does not matter much as everything works in the background. Still there is much more time you need to be connected so more time where the BT connection might break, which isn’t so easy if you walk away from your phone whilst bolusing & cooking.
  • The Combo vibrates on the end of TBRs, the Dana* R vibrates (or beeps) on SMB. At night time you are likely to be using TBRs more than SMB. The Dana* RS is configurable that it does neither beeps or vibrates.
  • Reading the history on the RS in a few seconds with carbs makes it possible to switch phones easily while offline and continue looping as soon a soon as some CGM values are in.
  • All pumps AndroidAPS can talk with are waterproof on delivery. Only the Dana pumps are also “waterproof by warranty” due to the sealed battery compartment and reservoir filling system.

The Combo of course is a very good pump, and loopable. It also has the advantage of many more infusion set types to choose from as it has a standard luer lock. And the battery is a default one you can buy at any gas station, 24 hour convenience store and if you really need one, you can steal/borrow it from the remote control in the hotel room ;-)
