Never use objects to operate the YpsoPump
®
. They could damage the screen or the function button and compromise
the operability of the YpsoPump
®
. If the insulin pump is damaged, correct delivery of insulin cannot be guaranteed;
this can cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia (read warning in the box on page 7). Ensure that your delivery of
insulin is as recommended by your doctor or diabetes advisor and consult Customer Service. You find the contact
details on the back of this User Guide as well as on page 10.
Only use AAA alkaline batteries (LR03) with your YpsoPump
®
. Make sure the battery is not damaged. A damaged battery
could result in a short circuit. If a different type of battery (e.g. a lithium battery or an NiMH rechargeable battery) or a
damaged battery is inserted, there is no guarantee that the insulin pump will be put into operation or operate properly; the
advance warning time up to the “Battery empty” alarm (page 163) cannot be maintained when a battery is discharged.
This can lead to failure of the preset insulin delivery, which can cause hyperglycemia (read warning in the box on page 7).
Make sure to always carry a replacement battery with you.
Always monitor the self-test attentively and carefully. If you are uncertain whether the self-test has been performed
correctly, repeat the self-test. If errors occur during the self-test (incomplete display, no vibration signal or audible signal),
you must not use the YpsoPump
®
as potential warnings and alarms on the insulin pump can no longer be displayed
and indicated properly. In such a case, contact Customer Service immediately. You find the contact details on the back
of this User Guide as well as on page 10.
Take special care when setting the time of day. If a wrong time of day is set, the timing of the basal rate profile could be
shifted. Only make changes to your settings after consulting your doctor or diabetes advisor. Incorrect programming
of the insulin pump can lead to incorrect dosages of insulin, which can cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia
(read warning in the box on page 7).
You must replace the battery compartment lid with a new one every three months. Otherwise the seal between the battery
compartment lid and the battery compartment may no longer be intact.
Choking hazard: keep the battery compartment lids out of reach of children.
