Chapter 2 – Important Safety Information
AVOID submerging your pump in fluid
beyond a depth of 3 feet or for more
than 30 minutes (IPX7 rating). If your
pump has been exposed to fluid
beyond these limits, check for any signs
of fluid ingress. If there are signs of fluid
entry, discontinue use of the pump and
contact Tandem Diabetes Care Cus-
tomer Technical Support at (877) 801-
6901.
AVOID areas where there may be flam-
mable anesthetics or explosive gases.
The pump is not suitable for use in
these areas and there is a risk of explo-
sion. Remove your pump if you need to
enter these areas.
MAKE SURE to not move further than
the length of the USB cable when you
are connected to the pump and to a
charging source. Moving further than
the length of the USB cable may cause
the cannula to be pulled out of the infu-
sion site. For this reason it is recom-
mended not to charge the pump while
sleeping.
DISCONNECT your infusion set from
your body while on high-speed/high
gravity amusement park thrill rides.

Rapid changes in altitude or gravity can
affect insulin delivery and cause injury.
DISCONNECT your infusion set from
your body before flying in an aircraft
without cabin pressurization or in
planes used for aerobatics or combat
simulation (pressurized or not). Rapid
changes in altitude or gravity can affect
insulin delivery and cause injury.
CONSULT your healthcare provider
about lifestyle changes such as weight
gain or loss, and starting or stopping
exercise. Your insulin needs may
change in response to lifestyle
changes. Your basal rate(s) and other
settings may need adjustment.
CHECK your blood glucose using a
blood glucose meter following a gradual
elevation change of up to 1,000 feet,
such as when snow skiing or driving on
a mountain road. Delivery accuracy can
vary up to 15% until 3 units of total
insulin have been delivered or elevation
has changed by more than 1,000 feet.
Changes in delivery accuracy can affect
insulin delivery and cause injury.
ALWAYS check with your healthcare
provider for specific guidelines if you
want or need to disconnect from the
pump for any reason. Depending on the
length of time and reason you are dis-
connecting, you may need to replace
missed basal and/or bolus insulin.
Check your blood glucose before dis-
connecting from the pump and again
when you reconnect, and treat high
blood glucose (BG) levels as recom-
mended by your healthcare provider.
ENSURE that your personal insulin
delivery settings are programmed into
the pump before you use the System if
you receive a warranty replacement.
Failure to enter your insulin delivery set-
tings could result in over delivery or
under delivery of insulin. This can cause
very low or very high blood glucose
which could result in serious injury or
death. Consult your healthcare provider
as needed.
Interference with your pump's electron-
ics by cell phones can occur if worn in
close proximity. It is recommended that
your pump and cell phone be worn at
least 6.4 inches apart.
