Pump alarms
119
The Pump Low Battery alarm can be cleared and the Pump will continue
to operate normally. However, users should be instructed to report the
alarm immediately to their physician. A Pump replacement or resumption
of conventional insulin therapy should then be scheduled.
Depleted pump battery
When there is no longer sufficient battery energy to power the Pump, the
Pump Low Battery Alarm will cease and insulin delivery will stop. Alter-
nate insulin therapy must be initiated.
System error
The Implantable Insulin Pump has a sophisticated self-monitoring system
that periodically checks for circuit faults. If a fault should occur in the
Pump electronics, insulin delivery will stop. Conventional insulin therapy
must be initiated immediately. Using the PPC Supervisor Mode, the phy-
sician should use the “DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE” feature to reprogram
the Pump from software in the PPC memory. Notify MiniMed immedi-
ately.
