Amusement Parks
Very powerful electromagnets are sometimes used on “free-fall” amusement park rides.
Insulin pumps should be removed and not taken on these “free-fall” types of rides.
High gravity forces can be experienced when riding on some
roller-coasters. It is
recommended that you disconnect (NOT suspend) the pump while on roller-coaster rides.
Aircraft without Cabin Pressurization
If flying in aircraft without cabin pressurization or flying in aircraft used for aerobatics
or combat simulation (pressurized or not), it is recommended that you disconnect
(NOT suspend) the pump.
Precautions
The Animas® pump is a sealed device that should be opened ONLY by the manufacturer.
If the pump seal is broken by anyone other than an authorized Animas factory
technician, the warranty is voided and the pump is no longer waterproof. If the back
label on the pump is removed or damaged, the warranty is voided and the pump is no
longer waterproof.
When using an insulin pump, if the pump is placed at a vertically higher position
than the infusion site, a very small amount of additional insulin infusion may occur.
To minimize this condition and maintain pump delivery accuracy, the vertical distance
between the pump and the infusion site should be no more than 12 inches (30 cm).
If the pump is placed at a vertically lower position than the infusion site, this condition
is eliminated.
Occasionally check the infusion site for proper placement and leaks. Improperly placed
infusion sites or leaks around the infusion site can result in under infusion.
Occasionally check the infusion set tubing for any damage, leaks or kinks while using the
pump. Damaged, leaking or kinked tubing may restrict or stop insulin delivery and result
in under infusion.
Only use Animas® 2.0 mL Cartridges (200 unit/2ml) and infusion sets with a standard
Luer™ connector. Efficacy of pump cannot be guaranteed if cartridges other than those
manufactured by Animas Corporation are used or if cartridges are used more than once.
Prior to replacing the battery cap, make sure the
o-ring (yellow) fits securely and is not
damaged. See Chapter 5, Getting Your Pump Ready.
Prior to inserting a
cartridge into the pump, check the o-rings on the cartridge to be sure
they are not damaged.
Occasionally check the vents to be sure they are clear of debris.
See Chapter 13, Care and
Maintenance.
Occasionally check that your pump personal settings are correct.
