Check with your HCP regarding your individual training needs. DO NOT attempt to connect to your
pump before you have been trained on your pump.
As part of your training, your HCP will assist you in making the appropriate selections for your insulin
pump and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) settings. Your insulin pump must be programmed
for your own personal use as your insulin pump settings impact the calculations for insulin delivery.
Users should be familiar with the insulin delivery features of the pump (basal and bolus delivery and
the suspend/resume feature), as described in Section I of your Owner's Booklet before you begin
using the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) features on your pump.
Reading the Owner's Booklet and viewing information on the System display
• Take special note of Warnings and Precautions, and Safety Information throughout the Owner's
Booklet, which are identified with
• Refer to Chapter 11 in Section I, and Chapter 10 in Section II, for information on warnings, alarms,
and alerts that sound/display on the Animas
• Display screens throughout the Owner's Booklet are examples only. They should not be considered
suggestions for individual programming and may not be representative of your current health status.
• The System uses a color display screen, but display screens throughout the Owner's Booklet are
always shown in black and white.

insulin delivery, and a Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter, which provides continuous
glucose monitoring (CGM). Throughout the Owner's Booklet there are references to the individual
devices that make up the System. For simplicity, the Animas
referred to as "your pump". The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor will often be referred to as "your
Sensor". The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Transmitter will often be referred to as "your Transmitter".
• "HCP" refers to any health care professional you may be in contact with regarding your diabetes and
its treatment. This includes doctors and nurses.
• "Blood Glucose" is often abbreviated as "BG" on the pump display, and throughout the Owner's
Booklet. Blood glucose is the amount of glucose (or sugar) in your blood.
• "Continuous Glucose Monitoring" is often abbreviated as "CGM" on the pump display and
throughout the Owner's Booklet. CGM is the ongoing measurement of glucose from fluid below your
skin (called interstitial fluid). The level of glucose in your blood (as measured by a fingerstick test
taken with a BG meter) will differ from the level of glucose in your interstitial fluid (as measured by
CGM).
• "Bolus stacking" refers to programming/delivering a bolus dose before a previous bolus has
finished working. This can lead to hypoglycemia.
• "Insulin on Board" will often appear in an abbreviated form as "IOB" on the pump display and
throughout the Owner's Booklet. Insulin on Board is a feature on your pump that keeps track of
how much insulin may still be left in your body from a previous bolus. Accounting for any Insulin on
Board can help you calculate the right insulin amount when it is time to deliver another bolus and
prevent an overcorrection from "bolus stacking".
• "Insulin to Carb" ratio is often abbreviated as "I:C" ratio on the pump display and throughout the
Owner's Booklet. Your Insulin to Carb Ratio is how many carbohydrates you can cover with 1 unit of
insulin.
