The basics...
Your pump
Take a look at your pump. The reservoir window allows you to view the insulin in the reservoir. The reservoir with
the tubing connector attached, is inserted into the reservoir compartment of the pump.
CAUTION: Never use sharp objects to press the buttons on your Paradigm pump as this can damage the
buttons or compromise the seal of the pump. Some examples of sharp objects that may damage your
keypad are fingernail files, pens or pencils, paperclips, knives, scissors, and keys.
