Warnings and Precautions
60
Ultrasound therapy
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System should
not be exposed to therapeutic ultrasound procedures, such as lithotripsy.
Exposure to ultrasound therapy may damage the Pump System.
Diagnostic radiation
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System has
been tested with Computerized Tomography and X-ray. These procedures
have no effect on the Pump. However, after such procedures, you should
test the Pump function (e.g., program a “SELF TEST”) to determine that
the Pump and PPC are operating properly. If the system is not performing
correctly, contact your doctor.
Therapeutic radiation
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin Pump System has
been tested with therapeutic radiation. These procedures have no effect on
the Pump. However, it is recommended not to focus therapeutic levels of
radiation directly over the pump. After such procedures, you should test
the Pump function (e.g., program a “SELF TEST”) to determine that the
Pump and PPC are operating properly. If the system is not performing
correctly, contact your doctor.
Magnetic resonance i maging
You cannot undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging procedures with the
MiniMed 2007C Implantable Pump System.
Pump and catheter under-delivery
Under-delivery or “backflow” may occur when insulin deposits collect in
the pumping mechanism inside your Pump. These deposits affect the vac-
uum seal in the pumping mechanism, and can prevent some of the insulin
from being delivered. If the pumping mechanism is unable to seal tightly,
the pump will under-deliver its insulin.
