The MiniMed Paradigm REAL-Time System is designed to withstand common electromagnetic interference, including airport security systems. The Paradigm Link monitor and MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter send information to the insulin pump using radio frequency. If other devices that use radio frequency are in use, such as cell phones, cordless phones or wireless networks, they may prevent communication between the insulin pump and the meter.

Therefore, there is an established process for authorization and payment for insulin pumps.
