Act quickly to respond to abnormal blood glucose. Notify your healthcare professional of low blood glucose requiring assistance or of high blood glucose, or of an increased frequency in low or high blood glucose.

Develop a plan with your healthcare professionals, in the event that a high or low blood glucose occurs and you are unable to reach them for advice.

Periodically check your overnight blood glucose levels. Discuss any out-of-target readings with your healthcare professional.

Always carry an “emergency kit” of insulin and a syringe or pen, in case you develop a problem with your pump and your insulin delivery is stopped.

Check the amount of insulin remaining in your reservoir at least once a day.

Your pump is watertight but should not be deliberately submerged in water during bathing, swimming, or other water activities. We recommend using an infusion set with a quick release feature to disconnect from the pump before water activities. If you inadvertently submerge your pump in water, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this user guide.

Do not use hot air to dry your pump. This may damage your pump’s internal electronics.

Do not use any lubricants on the pump mechanism.
