Chapter 1 Important Information

Your User Guide
The User Guide contains information about how to use, program and maintain your new pump.
It is important to read it carefully. Even if you are an experienced pumper, keep your User
Guide handy until you become thoroughly familiar with your pump and how to use it. Warnings,
cautions and safety tips are found throughout this Guide, indicated by a
symbol.
Do not attempt to connect to the pump before you have been trained on the IR 1200 or
unless your Certified IR 1200 Pump Trainer is present.
Incorrect use of your pump, failure to follow the instructions in this User Guide or
improper/inadequate self-care and troubleshooting techniques can lead to death or
serious injury. If you do not understand something or have questions, ask your
healthcare team or call our 24/7 Pump Support Department at 1-877-767-7373.
Outside the US, contact your local Animas distributor.
Your Animas pump is designed to deliver insulin reliably but because the pump uses
only rapid-acting insulin, you will not have long-acting insulin in your body. To avoid
the risk of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) or very high blood sugar, you must be
prepared to give yourself an injection of insulin if delivery is interrupted for any
reason.
Your Animas pump is designed and calibrated to deliver U100 insulin. Use of any
insulin with lesser or greater concentration can result in serious injury or death.
