Electrostatic discharge
Although the MiniMed 770G insulin pump is designed to be unaffected by
typical levels of electrostatic discharge (ESD), very high levels of ESD can result
in a reset of the pump's software and a pump error alarm. After clearing the
alarm, verify that your pump is set to the correct date and time, and that all
other settings are programmed to the desired values. The software reset could
erase your previously programmed settings. Following a pump reset, Auto
Mode will be unavailable for five hours to allow active insulin to be updated.
For more information on pump alarms, see Pump alarms, alerts, and messages,
on page 244. For more information on re-entering your pump settings, see My
pump is asking me to enter my settings, on page 286. If you are unable to re-
enter your pump settings, or otherwise believe there is a problem with your
pump, contact 24-Hour Technical Support.
Extreme temperatures
Exposure to extreme temperatures can damage your device, which can adversely
affect safety and effectiveness of your device. Avoid the following conditions:
Avoid exposing your pump to temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 41°F
(5°C). This may damage your device.
Insulin solutions freeze near 32°F (0°C) and degrade at temperatures higher
than 98.6°F (37°C). 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.
Do not steam, heat, sterilize, or autoclave your pump. Exposure to high
temperatures may damage your device.
Lotion, sunscreen, and insect repellent
Some skin care products, such as lotion, sunscreen, and insect repellents, can
cause damage to plastics, which is a material used in your pump case. After using
such products, be sure to wash your hands prior to handling your pump. If you
get any skin care products or insect repellents on your pump, wipe them off as
soon as possible with a damp cloth and mild soap. For instructions on cleaning
your pump, see Cleaning your pump, on page 293.
