Precautions
Avoid extreme temperatures
1. Avoid exposure of your pump and remote control to temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 32°F (0°C).
2. Insulin solutions freeze near 32°F (0°C) and degrade at high temperatures. If you are outside in cold weather,
wear your pump close to your body and cover it with warm clothing. If you are in a warm environment, take
measures to keep your pump and insulin cool.
3. Do not steam, sterilize or autoclave your pump or remote control.
Using the pump in water
1. With the tubing connector and battery cap securely in place, your pump can be used in water for up to 24-
hours at depths of up to 8 feet (2.44 meters). Exposure for time lengths exceeding 24-hours or to depths
greater than 8 feet (2.44 meters) should be avoided.
2. Rinse your pump and tubing connector with clear water after activities such as swimming and bathing. Allow
pump to dry. Avoid exposing the reservoir compartment or the battery compartment to water. Should they
get wet, however, dry them completely as soon as possible. Wet reservoirs should not be placed in the pump.
3. Do not use hot air to dry your pump. This may damage your pump’s internal electronics.
