FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if I have questions about the pump? Whenever you have questions about the pump
or your therapy, you should call your healthcare provider.
How do I move around with the pump? Curlin Medical Pumps have a carry pack specifically designed
to allow you to be mobile and active while receiving your therapy. Your healthcare provider will
demonstrate how to use the carry pack.
Where do I leave the pump when I want to sleep? Place the pump at your bedside or next to you on
the bed. Your clinician may have special instructions for bedtime use of the pump.
How do I bathe or shower during my therapy? The pump is water resistant, but not water proof, so it
should be placed outside your tub or shower.
How do I exit the help screen? When the pump is paused and the HELP/OPTION key is pressed, a
help message will appear. Press the HELP/OPTIONS key again to exit the help screen.
Where does the remote “Bolus Cable” (with a green ring) plug into on the pump? The port on the side
of the pump (labeled BOLUS/DATA) is for the remote “Bolus Cable” with switch. The bolus cable is
inserted and removed the same way as the AC adaptor.
Approximately how long will new batteries last? Battery life depends on the usage. The following
times are approximate only:
• Nominal 85 hours at a rate of 2 ml/hr
• Nominal 30 hours at a rate of 125 ml/hr
• Nominal 10 hours at a rate of 400 ml/hr
However, pressing the keys frequently will illuminate the display and the battery life will be
shortened. To extend battery life, the AC Adapter may be used at night.
How can I determine how much battery power is remaining in the pump while the pump is running?
If you have the words “Power Check” listed next to the NUMBER 2 KEY, press it while the pump is
running and the display will show you a bar graph indicating the battery power. This will remain
illuminated for several seconds and will not affect the function of the pump. Otherwise, press the
HELP/OPTIONS key and arrow down to “PWR CK” and press the NO key to change the field from
OFF to ON. Then press the YES key to enter the menu which will show you the power bar graph. After
several seconds the menu will revert to the Options screen. Press the YES key to accept options.
Are the “ C” cell batteries in the pump rechargeable? No.
