DO NOT deliver a bolus until you have
reviewed the calculated bolus amount
on the pump display. If you dose an in-
sulin amount that is too high or too low,
this could cause very high or very low
blood glucose. You can always adjust
the insulin units up or down before you
decide to deliver your bolus.
DO NOT allow small children (either
pump users or non-users) to ingest
small parts, such as the rubber USB
port cover and cartridge components.
Small parts could pose a choking
hazard. If ingested or swallowed, these
small component pieces may cause
internal injury or infection.
The System includes parts (such as the
USB cable and infusion set tubing) that
could pose a strangulation or asphyx-
iation hazard. Always use the appro-
priate length of infusion set tubing and
arrange cables and tubing to minimize
the risk of strangulation. ENSURE that
these parts are stored in a secure place
when not in use.
For patients who do not self-manage
their disease, the Feature Lock function
should ALWAYS be ON when the

pump is not being used by a caregiver.
The Feature Lock function is intended
to prevent inadvertent button presses
that may lead to insulin delivery or
changes in the pump settings. These
changes can potentially lead to hypo-
glycemic or hyperglycemic events.
For patients whose insulin adminis-
tration is managed by a caregiver,
ALWAYS turn off the Quick Bolus fea-
ture to avoid inadvertent bolus delivery.
If the Feature Lock is turned on, the
Quick Bolus feature is automatically
disabled. Inadvertent button presses or
tampering with the insulin pump 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.
