1.4 Important Pediatric
User Information
The following recommendations are
meant to help younger users and their
caregivers program, manage and care
for the pump.
Younger children may inadvertently
press or tap the pump, leading to unin-
tentional delivery of insulin.
It is the responsibility of the healthcare
provider and caregiver to determine if
the user is appropriate for treatment
with this device.
We recommend reviewing the Quick
Bolus and Feature Lock capabilities
of the Tandem pump and determining
how they best fit with your care plan.
These features are detailed in Chapters
10 and 11 of this User Guide.
Inadvertent dislodgement of the infu-
sion site may occur more frequently
with children so consider securing the
infusion site and tubing.
WARNING
DO NOT allow small children (either
pump users or non-users) to ingest
small parts, such as the rubber USB
port cover and cartridge components.
Small parts could pose a choking
hazard. If ingested or swallowed, these
small component pieces may cause
internal injury or infection.
WARNING
The Pump includes parts (such as the
USB cable and infusion set tubing) that
could pose a strangulation or asphyxi-
ation hazard. Always use the appropri-
ate length of infusion set and arrange
cables and tubing to minimize the risk
of strangulation. ENSURE that these
parts are stored in a secure place when
not in use.
WARNING
For patients who do not self-manage
their disease, the Feature Lock function
should ALWAYS be ON when the
pump is not being used by a caregiver.
The Feature Lock function is intended
to prevent inadvertent button presses
that may lead to insulin delivery or
changes in the pump settings. These
