Chapter 2 – Important Safety Information
CONFIRM that the screen display
turns on, you can hear audible beeps,
feel the pump vibrate, and see the
green LED light blinking around the
edge of the Screen On Button when
you connect a power source to the
USB port. These features are used to
notify you about alerts, alarms, and
other conditions that require your atten-
tion. If these features are not working,
discontinue use of the pump and con-
tact Tandem Diabetes Care Customer
Technical Support at (877) 801-6901.
CHECK your pump regularly for poten-
tial alarm conditions that may display.
It is important to be aware of condi-
tions that may affect insulin delivery
and require your attention so you can
respond as soon as possible.
DO NOT use the vibrate feature for
alerts and alarms during sleep unless
otherwise directed by your healthcare
provider. Having the volume for alerts
and alarms set to high will help ensure
that you don’t miss an alert or alarm.
ALWAYS look at the screen to confirm
correct programming of the bolus
amount when you first use the Quick
Bolus feature. Looking at the screen
will ensure that you are correctly using
the beep/vibration commands to pro-
gram the intended bolus amount.
DO NOT use your pump if you think
it might be damaged due to dropping
it or hitting it against a hard surface.
Check that the pump is working
properly by plugging a power source
into the USB port and confirming that
the display turns on, you hear audible
beeps, feel the pump vibrate, and see
the green LED light blinking around the
edge of the Screen On Button. If you
are unsure about potential damage,
discontinue use of the pump and con-
tact Tandem Diabetes Care Customer
Technical Support at (877) 801-6901.
AVOID exposure of your pump to
temperatures below 40°F (5°C) or
above 99°F (37°C). Insulin can freeze
at low temperatures or degrade at high
temperatures. Insulin that has been
exposed to conditions outside of the
manufacturer’s recommended ranges
can affect the safety and performance
of the pump.
AVOID submersing your pump in fluid
beyond a depth of 3 feet or for more
than 30 minutes (IPX7 rating). If your
pump has been exposed to fluid be-
yond these limits, check for any signs
of fluid ingress. If there are signs of
fluid entry, discontinue use of the pump
and contact Tandem Diabetes Care
Customer Technical Support at (877)
801-6901.
AVOID areas where there may be
flammable anesthetics or explosive
gases. The Pump is not suitable for
use in these areas and there is a risk of
explosion. Remove your pump if you
need to enter these areas.
MAKE SURE to not move further than
the length of the USB cable when
you are connected to the pump and
to a charging source. Moving further
than the length of the USB cable may
cause the cannula to be pulled out of
the infusion site. For this reason it is
recommended not to charge the pump
while sleeping.
DISCONNECT
your infusion set from
your body while on high-speed/high
gravity amusement park thrill rides.
