Environmental conditions
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D Implantable Insulin Pump System should not be
exposed to extreme electrical or magnetic fields. Although it is not possible to
include every environmental condition that may affect the Pump, most are listed
below. Please contact Medtronic MiniMed when in doubt if certain
environmental exposure will affect the pump.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MEDTRONIC MINIMED
2007D IMPLANTABLE INSULIN PUMP SYSTEM
TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Procedures.
• Lithotripsy Treatment.
• Large Rotating Magnetic Fields - Refers to large industrial rotating
magnetic fields, such as those found in Industrial Power Plants.
• Magnets Held Directly Over the Pump.
• High Power Radio or Satellite Transmitting Towers.
• Altitudes Above 2,400 meters (8,000 feet).
• Therapeutic Ultrasound
• Therapeutic Radiation
The Medtronic MiniMed 2007D Implantable Insulin Pump System is not
designed for use at elevations above 2,400 meters (8,000 feet). Use of the Pump
System at higher elevations may result in insulin over delivery, which may cause
personal injury or death. Therefore, patients who live at elevations above 2,400
meters (8,000 feet) should not use the Pump. Patients who use the Pump and who
plan to travel to an elevation above 2,400 meters (8,000 feet) should first have
their Pump reservoir emptied of insulin, and they must self-administer insulin by
other means for the duration of the trip and until their Pump reservoir is refilled
again.
(This warning does not apply to travel on commercial aircraft because normal
cabin pressurization is adequate to ensure proper operation of the Pump.)
• Diving Below 7.6 Meters (25 Feet).
• Physical Damage to the Pump or Pump Pocket.
