Animas OneTouch Ping Owner's Booklet page 8

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Compliance with these guidelines means that under normal day-to-day circumstances your OneTouch ®
Ping ™ System should not affect the operation of other devices. Additionally, your OneTouch ® Ping ™
System should operate normally in the presence of other devices in a normal household environment.
In the event there is interference from another device, it is recommended that you increase distance
between your system and that device, or turn off the interfering device. Alternatively, you may turn off
RF communication between the meter remote and pump and perform insulin delivery functions
directly from your pump (see Chapter 2 in Section III, pages 182–184).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer (Animas ® Corporation) could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
There are environments where it is recommended that you not use the RF communication feature
linking your meter remote and pump. When you are in radiology and MRI departments and around
radiology equipment, it is recommended you first deactivate the RF communication feature on both
your meter remote and your pump. Then you must remove both devices and leave them outside the
MRI room. Any metal needle infusion sets should also be removed and left outside the MRI room.
Likewise, during air travel your airline may have specific restrictions about using your System with RF
communication activated. It is recommended that you deactivate the RF feature on your pump and
meter remote during flights, or check with your airline's RF restrictions when making your travel plans.
To learn more about deactivating the RF feature on your pump and meter remote, see Chapter 2 in
Section III, pages 177–186.
Your pump has additional environmental restrictions. See Chapter 1 in Section I, pages 3–8 for
recommendations regarding the use of pumps in the presence of radiology equipment.
Using your meter remote and pump together as a system
Once you have established communication between your meter remote and pump, you can access
certain pump functions directly from your meter remote. These include delivering a bolus, monitoring
pump status, and confirming many pump alarms and warnings.
Your pump has its own set of display screens and buttons to provide stand-alone insulin delivery
without the use of your meter remote. Some of the buttons work the same way as the buttons on your
meter remote. One example is the button on your pump. Like the button on your meter remote,
the button on your pump is used to confirm entries. Be sure you know how the buttons work on both
your pump and meter remote before you begin using the devices together as a system.
When you use your meter remote to access pump functions, your meter remote display screens will
closely resemble your pump display screens.
