Practice, practice, practice...
Before you begin pump therapy, it is important that you become familiar with your pump.
WARNING: For your protection the pump has undergone extensive testing to confirm appropriate oper-
ation when used with Paradigm reservoirs and Paradigm infusion sets manufactured or dis-
tributed by Medtronic MiniMed. We recommend using Medtronic MiniMed infusion sets and
reservoirs as we cannot guarantee appropriate operation if the pump is used with reservoirs
or infusion sets offered by third-parties and therefore we are not responsible for any injury
or malfunctioning of the pump that may occur in association with such use.
