PRECAUTIONS (continued)
• ALWAYS remove the air bubbles from the cartridge and tubing before beginning insulin
delivery. Air bubbles represent space where insulin should be and can compromise delivery
accuracy. Make sure the insulin is at room temperature, fill the cartridge slowly, and tap the
cartridge to try to remove the larger air bubbles. Refer to the Instructions for Use included with
your cartridge packaging for additional information.
• DO NOT use your pump if you suspect it might be damaged or not working properly. You can
damage your pump by dropping it, hitting it with something hard, or not using it as intended.
You should disconnect the pump or suspend insulin delivery if you think the damage might
result in over delivery or under delivery of insulin. Make sure to have an alternate method for
administering insulin such as pens and syringes if you are unable to use it. Before you start
using your pump again, check for any visible damage to the pump, such as cracks or chips
which can impact the battery contact/and or waterproof feature of your pump. Check that the
cartridge cap, battery cap and infusion set are properly in place. Check for insulin leaks around
the cartridge by wrapping a piece of tissue around the connection area to see if it gets wet.
Turn the pump on to see if the pump display is clear. Contact Customer Service if you identify
or suspect damage.
• DO NOT expose your pump to temperatures outside the range 40° F – 98° F (5° C – 37° C). Your
pump is not designed to operate in temperatures outside this range. Extreme temperatures
can affect the safety and performance of the pump. DO NOT exceed the insulin manufacturer's
recommended temperature and humidity ranges when operating the Animas
Pump.
• DO NOT bring your pump into areas where there may be explosive gases. There is a risk of
explosion if you use your pump in these areas. Remove your pump if you need to enter these
areas.
• DO NOT use household cleaners, chemicals, bleach, alcohol wipes, skin prep, scouring pads or
sharp instruments to clean your pump. Cleaning your pump with these materials can damage
the pump. Clean your pump with a soft, lint free cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent
such as liquid soap. Never put your pump in the dishwasher or use scalding hot water to clean
it. See Chapter 12 in Section I.
• NEVER use a hair or hand dryer, microwave oven or baking oven to dry your pump if it gets wet.
The use of these appliances can damage the pump. Use a soft towel or cloth.
• NEVER clean the inside of the battery or insulin cartridge compartments.
• DO NOT reset the Low Cartridge Warning if the alert has already sounded/displayed, until you
have loaded a new cartridge. The alert will only sound/display once for each cartridge change.
If you deliver a bolus amount which reduces your remaining insulin below the Low Cartridge
Warning threshold, a Low Cartridge Warning will display/sound after the bolus is delivered.
The amount remaining may be lower than the Low Cartridge Warning threshold.
• MAKE SURE to select the correct Battery Type on the Verify screen when you change the
battery. This will ensure accuracy of the Low and Replace Battery Warnings.
