The pump is used to administer
insulin for people with diabetes. If it is used
incorrectly, it could cause life-threatening
situations.
Before using the pump, please read
the user guide carefully. Patients must
be trained by a healthcare professional
and should only use the pump after they
have mastered the operation.
Your healthcare professional should
develop a customized insulin delivery
protocol for you. Your healthcare profes-
sional will adjust the settings and observe
the effectiveness, possibly monitoring your
blood glucose four times a day until the
therapy is stable.
You should keep in frequent contact
with your healthcare professional. Basic
pump adjustments should be made under
close supervision with a qualified
healthcare professional.
