vider for health advice and Deltec, Inc. for information on
servicing your pump. Be prepared to inject insulin with an
insulin syringe or pen.
☞
Programming and using the features described in the
“Using the Pump - More Features” chapter includes in-
formation that may require a greater understanding of
insulin pump therapy and should not be attempted with-
out help from your healthcare provider.
☞
Programming many of the settings in the “Using the Pump -
More Features” chapter can only occur after testing and fine-
tuning so that you get the best possible results from insulin
pump therapy. You should receive specific training on
programming and using the pump. Please carefully read
all instructions and talk to your healthcare provider.
☞
Talk to your healthcare provider to determine your cor-
rection bolus factor and your duration of insulin action.
☞
When you first start using the Touch Bolus feature, you
should always take the pump out so you can view the
screens as you program them. Then, once you are com-
fortable with how it works, you can program and deliver a
bolus without even taking the pump out.
☞
To use the Extended bolus feature, you will need to de-
termine the length of time it takes your body to begin
using these types of meals as blood glucose. Talk to your
healthcare provider before attempting to use this feature.
☞
To use the Combination bolus feature, you will need to
determine the length of time it takes your body to begin
using these types of meals as blood glucose. Talk to your
healthcare provider before attempting to use this feature.
☞
Discuss your individual insulin needs with your health-
care provider.
Cautions
☞
Avoid strong electromagnetic fields, like those present
with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and direct x-
ray, as they can affect how the pump works. If you can-
not avoid them, you must take the pump off. Do not expose
the pump directly to ultrasound.
☞
Do not use the pump in hyperbaric chambers as they will
affect how the pump works and may also cause damage to
the pump.
☞
Do not use cell phones in close proximity to the pump.
Interference with the pump electronics by cell phones can
occur. If a cell phone interferes with the pump, the pump
will generate a System Fault alarm.
☞
To avoid damage when storing the pump, first remove the
battery and cartridge. Place the pump in the original carton
and keep it away from cold, heat, and dampness. After 30
days, your personal programming will be lost and you will
need to reprogram your pump.
☞
The pump may experience problems if operated in condi-
tions where temperatures are lower than 35.6˚F (2˚C) or
higher than 104˚F (40˚C), when relative humidity (non-con-
densing) exceeds 90%, and when atmospheric pressure is
lower than 10.2 PSI (70 kPa) (10,000 feet above sea level)
or higher than 15.4 PSI (106 kPa). If you experience prob-
