Ypsomed YpsoPump, User Manual

Page: 7 / 204

If you suspect you may have hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, check your blood glucose more frequently for
the next few hours, as recommended by your doctor or diabetes advisor, and adapt the insulin delivery
settings to the changed conditions. If you are uncertain, contact your doctor or diabetes advisor immediately.
Check your blood glucose as often as your doctor or diabetes advisor recommends. If you do not check your
blood glucose regularly, blood glucose fluctuations will not be detected and you will not be able to adapt the
insulin dosage of the pump (e.g. bolus amount).

Warnings
Not following the instructions in the User Guide of your YpsoPump
®
or not following warnings indicated in this User Guide
can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia (read warning in the box below).
The YpsoPump ® insulin pump is only available on prescription. Never use the YpsoPump ® without prior training from
your doctor or diabetes advisor. Using the YpsoPump
®
without professional familiarization training can lead to incorrect
dosage of insulin. As is the case for any user of an insulin pump, ensuring constant access to an alternative means of
injecting insulin (e.g. in case of failure of the insulin pump system) is your own responsibility. For further advice, please
consult your doctor or diabetes advisor.
Only rapid-acting insulin at a concentration of 100 U/ml (NovoRapid
®
, Humalog
®
, Apidra
®
) may be used with the
YpsoPump
®
system. Using different insulin can lead to incorrect dosages of insulin, which can cause hypoglycemia or
hyperglycemia (read warning in the box below). If you use different insulin, change the cartridge as well as the primed
infusion set and continue therapy with the correct type of insulin.
