BIOCORP EFD2 Smart Cap for Insulin Pen
Transferring SoloSmart to a new pen: unmounting / mounting mode
- BEFORE removing SoloSmart from the empty pen, press firmly on the button for at least 5 seconds, until the green light turns purple then off.
- Remove SoloSmart from the empty pen, holding it by the wheel, and not pulling the button. Put it vertically (button up) on a flat surface.
- Discard the empty pen in an appropriate waste container (see the pen’s IFU). KEEP YOUR SOLOSMART
- Install SoloSmart on the new pen as described in section 7. Press firmly on the button for at least 5 seconds, until the light turns purple, then lift your finger: the light turns green. Your new pen and SoloSmart are ready to be used together!
NOTE: SoloSmart is reusable and can be transferred to a new pen when the previous disposable pen is empty.
Activate the Unmounting/Mounting mode BEFORE removing Solosmart from the empty pen. This mode stops dose recording, allowing handling operations.vide, ceci permet d’arrêter les mesures de doses lors des manipulations. It is important to use this mode in order not to measure ghost doses during handling operations, and to have the app ask for confirmation that the same type of pen is still used. Not using this mode might lead to erroneous information. The App detects the use of this mode and asks you to confirm the type of insulin pen used with your SoloSmart. In the case where the SoloSmart has been removed from the empty pen without using this mode, the App will keep using the previous type of insulin pen. Data will have to be manually modified, if necessary. Use one SoloSmart per type of pen. If you use different pens (basal and bolus insulin for example), do NOT use the same SoloSmart for 2 different pens.
Light signals and meaning
- SoloSmart is: – properly installed and paired OR – during dose selection OR – injecting.
- SoloSmart is seeing the end of injection. Keep the pressure on the button and the needle on your skin all the time the light is flashing, or for the duration indicated in the pen’s IFU.
- SoloSmart is plugged and charging.
- SoloSmart is ready to be paired.
- Before SoloSmart has been paired, the light is blue, whatever the operation. No information is recorded.
- Unmounting/mounting mode, after a press hold of at least 5 seconds (pen change).
- Low battery.
- Plug and charge your SoloSmart (2h for a full charge). The light is orange during injections if the battery is low.
- Steady red: SoloSmart is in an error state. Proceed to a reset, and pair it again with your phone. If the problem persists, contact the Support service. Flashing red, then off: after a reset.
- The light automatically turns off after an inactivity period (4 seconds). Press lightly on the SoloSmart button to wake it up and check its status thanks to the light color.
- If the light does not turn on, press firmly on the button, and the unmounting mode might have been activated. If the light still does not turn on, despite a long and firm press on the button, the battery might be empty. Charge your SoloSmart.
