CHAPTER 1 - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Before Bedtime
Try to arrange infusion set changes at meals or one to two hours before bedtime. If a change
˚
is needed at bedtime, then check BG in one to two hours. Always check BG one to two hours after
infusion set change.
Always check that your cartridge has enough insulin to last through the night before going to bed.
˚
Unless otherwise recommended by your health care team, Do Not use the vibrate feature during
sleep. It is recommended that you set the volume to high for all warnings and alarms before going
to sleep.
• Always remove all air bubbles from cartridge and tubing before beginning insulin delivery. Air
bubbles can compromise accuracy of delivery. Refer to the Instructions for Use included with your
cartridge packaging.
Interference with your pump electronics by cell phones can occur if worn in close proximity. It is
•
recommended that you wear your pump and cell phone at least 6 inches (15.2 centimeters) apart.
When RF is turned on and you are using your pump and meter remote together as a system, RF
interference is possible. See Chapter 7 in Section III, pages 219–220.
If you return your pump for service and a replacement pump is sent, Do Not use the replacement
•
pump until all the settings specific to your treatment plan have been programmed.
• If you drop your pump or it has been hit against something hard, inspect it to be sure it is still
working properly. Check that the display screen is working and clear, that the cartridge cap, battery
cap and infusion set are properly in place. Check for leaks around the cartridge by wrapping a piece
of tissue around the connection area. Cracks, chips or damage to your pump may impact the battery
contact and/or the waterproof feature of your pump. Call our Customer Service representatives at
1 877 937-7867 if you identify or suspect your pump has been damaged. They will help determine
if your pump should be replaced.
Your pump is designed to operate in conditions where temperatures are between 40°F (5°C) and
•
104°F (40°C). If your pump is exposed to temperatures outside these parameters, extra care should
be taken to protect it from extreme temperatures.
• Your pump and pump cartridges are latex free.
To avoid risk of explosion, Do Not use your pump in the presence of explosive gases.
•
• Your pump is designed to achieve optimum performance and battery life with an Energizer
L91 AA battery (1.5V). Rechargeable batteries and Carbon-Zinc batteries do not have the necessary
characteristics to power your pump and should not be used. Some AA lithium batteries are available
with other voltages such as 3.6V or 4.0V. Do Not use these batteries. Use of anything other than a
1.5V battery could permanently damage your pump and voids its warranty.
Do Not use household cleaners, chemicals, solvents, bleach, scouring pads or sharp instruments to
•
clean your pump. Never put your pump in the dishwasher or use very hot water to clean it.
• Never use a hair dryer, microwave oven or baking oven to dry your pump. Use a soft towel.
WARNING: Your pump and pump accessories include small component pieces that could
pose a choking hazard for small children.
