Never prime tubing while infusion set is connected to your body.
Before Bedtime
To ensure proper delivery, do not change your infusion set just before bedtime or if
you will not be able to test your blood sugar 1 to 2 hours after new set is placed.
Always check that your cartridge has enough insulin to last through the night before
going to bed. Do not use the vibrate feature during sleep. It is recommended that
you set the volume to high for all warnings and alarms before going to sleep.
Always remove all air bubbles from cartridge and tubing before beginning insulin delivery.
Air bubbles can compromise accuracy of delivery. Refer to the Instructions for Use included
with your cartridge packaging.
Interference with the pump electronics by cell phones can occur if worn in close proximity. It
is recommended that you wear the pump and cell phone at least 6 inches apart.
If you return your pump for service and a replacement pump is sent, do not use the
replacement pump until all the settings specific to your treatment plan have been
programmed.
If you drop the pump or it has been hit against something hard, inspect it to be sure it is still
working properly. Check that the display screen is working and clear, that the cartridge cap,
battery cap and infusion set are properly in place. Check for leaks around the cartridge by
wrapping a piece of tissue around the connection area. Cracks, chips or damage to the
pump may impact the battery contact and/or the waterproof feature of your pump. Call our
24/7 Pump Support Department at 877-767-7373 if you identify or suspect your pump has
been damaged. They will help determine if your pump should be replaced. (Outside the US
and Canada, contact your local Animas distributor.)
The pump is designed to operate in conditions where temperatures are between 40º and
104ºF (5 – 40C). If your pump is exposed to temperatures outside these parameters, extra
care should be taken to protect it from extreme temperatures.
Animas insulin pumps and insulin pump cartridges are latex free.
To avoid risk of explosion, do not use the pump in the presence of explosive gases.
Your IR 1200 pump is designed to achieve optimum performance and battery life with an
Energizer Lithium L91 AA battery (1.5V). Rechargeable batteries and Carbon-Zinc batteries
do not have the necessary characteristics to power the pump and should not be used.
Under no circumstances should you use high-energy 3.6V AA Lithium batteries. Use of
these batteries could permanently damage the pump and void the warranty.
Do not use household cleaners, chemicals, solvents, bleach, scouring pads or sharp
instruments to clean the pump. Never put your pump in the dishwasher or use very hot
water to clean it.
Never put your pump in a microwave oven or baking oven to dry it. Use a soft towel.
