PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT open the pump other than to replace the battery or insulin cartridge. Your pump is a
sealed device that should be opened ONLY by the manufacturer. If your pump seal is broken by
anyone other than an authorized Animas
is removed, your pump is no longer waterproof and the warranty is voided.
• DO NOT place your pump more than 12 vertical inches (30 centimeters) above your infusion
site, as it may lead to over delivery of insulin. If you place your pump within 12 vertical inches
(30 centimeters) of the infusion site, or at a vertically lower position than the infusion site, this
condition is eliminated.
• CHECK the infusion site daily for proper placement, air bubbles and leaks. DO NOT use an
infusion set that is not properly placed, has air bubbles or has leaks. Improperly placed
infusion sites, air bubbles or leaks can result in under delivery of insulin.
• CHECK the infusion set tubing daily for any damage, leaks or kinks. DO NOT use infusion set
tubing that is damaged, has leaks or is kinked. Damaged, leaking or kinked tubing can restrict
or stop insulin delivery and result in under delivery of insulin.
• CHANGE your infusion set every 2 to 3 days as recommended by your HCP to avoid infection.
Use clean hands when handling infusion sets. Clean the skin area near the intended insertion
site. Contact your HCP if you have signs or symptoms of infection at your insulin infusion site
or Sensor insertion site.
• CHECK the cartridge for leaks, cracks, or other damage each time you change it. To avoid
leakage, make sure to securely tighten the Luer connection between the cartridge and infusion
set. You can check for leaks by wrapping a tissue around the Luer connection to see if it gets
wet.
• CHECK the battery cap o-ring for damage (breaks, cracks or fraying) whenever you replace the
pump battery. DO NOT use a battery cap that has a damaged o-ring or does not fit securely.
If the o-ring is damaged or not securely attached, replace the battery cap with a new one. A
damaged battery cap o-ring, or one that does not fit securely, can impact the battery contact
and/or the waterproof feature of your pump. See Chapter 3 in Section I.
• CHECK the insulin cartridge o-rings for damage (breaks, cracks or fraying) prior to inserting a
new cartridge into your pump. DO NOT use a cartridge that has damaged o-rings. If the o-rings
are damaged, replace the cartridge with a new one. Damaged cartridge o-rings can result in
under delivery or over delivery of insulin.
• CHECK your pump personal settings whenever you change the pump battery to make sure
they were saved. It is important that your pump is set correctly for your insulin delivery needs
and current health status. Not having the correct settings can result in over delivery or under
delivery of insulin. Consult your HCP as needed.
• CONFIRM that you can feel the pump vibrate and you can hear audible tones whenever you
change the pump battery. This is a built-in safety check every time you replace the pump
battery. It is important that these two features are working correctly as they are used to
confirm certain pump operations and to alert you to conditions that require your attention.
