Warnings and precautions
84
Physicians should instruct patients to avoid any sharp blows or pressure directly
at the Pump location. A direct hit by an object such as a baseball may damage the
Pump and/or injure the Pump pocket. Extreme pressure on the Pump may cause
the sutures and the tissue pocket to be damaged. As a result, the Pump may move
from its pocket and possibly dislodge from the Catheter.
If the Pump has been damaged by such a blow, the patient should be instructed to
contact their physician. Physicians may order a pressure bandage or a reduction
in the patient’s physical activity until the pump pocket reheals completely.

Exposure to elevated body temperatures in excess of 104°F (40°C) will
