WARNINGS (continued)
• NEVER tighten the cartridge cap when your infusion set is attached to your body. Tightening
the cartridge cap while your infusion set is attached to your body may disrupt the flow of
insulin through the tubing that is threaded through the cap.
• MAKE SURE to twist the Luer connector an extra quarter of a turn to ensure a secure
connection between the cartridge and infusion set tubing. If the connection is not secure,
insulin may leak around the cartridge, resulting in under delivery of insulin.
• DO NOT remove the Audio Bolus/ezBolus
the button can damage the pump, compromise the waterproof feature of your pump, and result
in over delivery or under delivery of insulin. This can lead to very low or very high BG levels.
• CHECK the battery cap vent and primary vent below the cartridge cap to make sure they are
not clogged whenever you replace the battery, cartridge or infusion set. DO NOT use the
pump if the vents are clogged. The vents allow air to flow in and out of the pump, and have a
membrane on the inside that helps keep your pump waterproof. Remove any debris from the
vents using your fingers and a soft cloth.
• DO NOT use a sharp object to clean the vents or you may puncture the vents/membrane and
compromise the waterproof feature of your pump. Replace the battery cap if you are unable to
remove the debris from the battery cap vent. See Chapter 12 in Section I.
• DO NOT use excessive force to tighten the battery cap. This can cause your pump case
to crack. Cracks, chips, or damage to your pump can impact the battery contact/and or
waterproof feature of your pump.
• DO NOT use any batteries in your pump other than what is recommended in this Owner's
Booklet. Other batteries do not have the necessary characteristics to power your pump, and
can damage the pump and/or result in over delivery or under delivery of insulin. This can lead
to very low or very high BG levels. Use of other batteries may void the pump warranty and can
damage the device. See Chapter 3 in Section I.
• AVOID infusion sites on skin areas with tattoos, or areas with rough patches or scarring from
your pump or insulin injections. These skin areas can cause redness, irritation, swelling,
infection, and not allow for the intended amount of insulin delivery.
• DO NOT expose the pump to very strong electromagnetic fields. ALWAYS remove the pump
before entering an area where there are very strong magnets. If you plan to undergo an MRI,
remove your pump and keep it outside the room during the procedure. These types of energy
fields can damage the System and lead to over delivery or under delivery of insulin. This could
lead to very low or very high BG levels.
• DO NOT expose the pump to any medical procedure that involves the use of energy fields
(for example, ionizing radiation or magnetic radiation). ALWAYS remove the Animas
Vibe
System (pump, Sensor and Transmitter) before entering the room where one of these
™
procedures will be performed. These types of energy fields can damage the System and lead to
over delivery or under delivery of insulin. This could lead to very low or very high BG levels.
• DO NOT use the CGM features on your pump after December 24, 2023, or use your pump
for insulin delivery after December 31, 2023. The pump will not display or log the correct
date after December 31, 2023, which means the user will not be able to run a full 7 day CGM
session after December 24, 2023.
