Product Info

• Use a new lancet each time you test because it is no longer sterile after use.
• Always dispose of test strips and lancets as medical waste or as advised by
your healthcare professional. All products that come in contact with human
blood should be handled as if capable of transmitting infectious diseases.
Exposure to magnetic fields and radiation
• Do not expose your pump to MRI equipment, diathermy devices, or other
devices that generate strong magnetic fields (for example, x-ray, CT scan, or
other types of radiation). The strong magnetic fields can cause the system to
malfunction, and result in serious injury. If your pump is exposed to a strong
magnetic field, discontinue use and contact 24-Hour Technical Support for
further assistance.
Magnetic fields, and direct contact with magnets, may affect the accurate
functioning of your system, which may lead to health risks such as
hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
• Do not expose your transmitter to MRI equipment, diathermy devices, or other
devices that generate strong magnetic fields. Exposure to a strong magnetic
field has not been evaluated and can cause the device to malfunction, result
in serious injury, or be unsafe. If your transmitter is inadvertently exposed to a
strong magnetic field, discontinue use and contact 24-Hour Technical Support
for further assistance.
• Do not expose your sensor to MRI equipment, diathermy devices, or other
devices that generate strong magnetic fields as the performance of the sensor
has not been evaluated under those conditions and may be unsafe. If your
sensor is inadvertently exposed to a strong magnetic field, discontinue use
and contact 24-Hour Technical Support for further assistance.
• Always remove your pump, sensor, transmitter, and meter before entering a
room that has x-ray, MRI, diathermy, or CT scan equipment. The magnetic
fields and radiation in the immediate vicinity of this equipment can make your
devices nonfunctional or damage the part of the pump that regulates insulin
delivery, possibly resulting in over delivery and severe hypoglycemia.
