Amusement Parks
Very powerful electromagnets are sometimes used on “free-fall” amusement park rides.
Insulin pumps should be removed and not taken on these “free-fall” types of rides.
High gravity forces can be experienced when riding on some roller-coasters. It is
recommended that you disconnect (NOT suspend) the pump while on roller-coaster rides.
Aircraft without Cabin Pressurization
If flying in aircraft without cabin pressurization or flying in aircraft used for aerobatics or
combat simulation (pressurized or not), it is recommended that you disconnect (NOT
suspend) the pump.
Precautions
The Animas pump is a sealed device that should be opened ONLY by the manufacturer. If
the pump seal is broken by anyone other than an authorized Animas factory technician, the
warranty is voided and the pump is no longer waterproof. If the back label on the pump is
removed or damaged, the warranty is voided and the pump is no longer waterproof.
When using an insulin pump, if the pump is placed at a vertically higher position than the
infusion site, a very small amount of additional insulin infusion may take place. To
minimize this condition and maintain pump delivery accuracy, the vertical distance between
the pump and the infusion site should be no more than 12 inches (30 cm). If the pump is
placed at a vertically lower position than the infusion site, this condition is eliminated.
Occasionally check the infusion set tubing for any damage and kinking while using the
pump. Damaged or kinked tubing may restrict or stop insulin delivery and result in under
infusion.
Only use Animas IR 1200 series (200 unit) cartridges and infusion sets with a standard
Luer™ connector. Efficacy of pump cannot be guaranteed if cartridges other than those
manufactured by Animas Corporation are used.
Always dispose of used cartridges and infusion sets following the regulations in your
community. Insulin can be absorbed through the skin. Minimize any contact with insulin
and wash hands thoroughly after handling any devices that contain insulin. Failure to follow
these guidelines may pose health hazards.
Prior to replacing the battery cap, make sure the o-ring (yellow) fits securely and is not
damaged. See Chapter 5, Getting Your Pump Ready.
Prior to inserting a cartridge into the pump, check the o-rings on the cartridge to be sure they
are not damaged.
Occasionally check the vents to be sure they are clear of debris. See Chapter 13, Care and
Maintenance.
