there is NO insulin delivered, blood glucose levels will rise resulting in hyperglycemia. Check with your health
care professional about instructions for your care when you are disconnected from your pump.
Always check your blood glucose 1 to 3 hours or as your healthcare professional directs after inserting a new in-
•
fusion set, relling the insulin reservoir, or if your pump has stopped operating for any duration. It is imperative
that you conrm that insulin is owing through the pump prior to sleep. Do NOT change your infusion set less
than 3 hours before bedtime as you need to be awake to notice any problems that may arise with a new site.
Blood glucose measurements taken outside the companion’s operating temperature range may be less accurate.
•
Reconnecting
When reconnecting, be sure to check that there is • NO air in the tubing. If there is air in the tubing, you will NOT
get the correct insulin dose. Follow the User Guide’s recommendations on priming to replace any air in the tub-
ing before reconnecting, by using the pump’s PRIME TUBING feature (Section 2.4).
Infusion Sets and Reservoirs
Your pump’s reservoir and infusion sets are for • single use only. Do NOT reuse. Use only the Aviator-supplied
reservoir intended for your pump. Do NOT substitute with any other reservoir.
While the pump and infusion set are disconnected from your body, you can practice lling your insulin reservoir
•
with saline until you are comfortable with the procedure. You MUST dispose of the used practice infusion set
and reservoir after practicing. Do NOT rell the reservoir.
Before lling the reservoir, make sure your insulin is at room temperature to limit the amount of bubbles. If
•
you have questions about the correct temperature, consult your insulin manufacturer’s product insert or your
healthcare professional.
Filling the reservoir with cold insulin may result in delivery errors.
•
Do NOT pre-ll and store insulin in the reservoir prior to use in your pump.•
The reservoir protective cover is for temporary use while preparing the reservoir and infusion set for use.•
You must • NOT have the infusion set tubing connected to your body when removing the reservoir from the
pump.
ALWAYS
• disconnect your pump and infusion set from your body before removing the insulin reservoir from
the pump There is a possibility of occurrence of adverse medical events or serious injury if the reservoir is NOT
installed in the pump and the reservoir is accidentally pressed or hit.
NEVER
• prime infusion set while attached to your body. If infusion set is attached when priming, this may result
in accidental delivery of insulin and possible adverse medical events or serious injury.
Your pump’s reservoir is for
• single use only. Use only the Aviator-supplied reservoir intended for your pump. Do
NOT substitute any other reservoir. Install the reservoir protective cap to maintain the integrity of the reservoir
contents after lling if there is a delay in attaching the reservoir to the infusion set.
Do
• NOT put the reservoir into the pump without rst putting on the reservoir cap.
Do
• NOT twist the reservoir cap onto the reservoir. Just snap it on and make sure the alignment guides match up.
Push the reservoir into the reservoir cap until the two are tightly mated to avoid possible delivery errors that
•
may result in adverse medical events (including serious injury).
Rotate the reservoir cap fully closed when installing the reservoir and infusion set assembly into the Pump to
•
avoid causing delivery errors that might result in adverse medical events (including serious injury).
Check for any damage to the catch feature before mating the infusion set reservoir cap to the reservoir barrel.
•
Do • NOT hold the plunger while placing the reservoir into the pump.
Do
• NOT force the reservoir into the pump. Make sure the reservoir alignment mark is lined up with the pump
alignment mark and gently wiggle into place.
Do
• NOT allow any insulin or uid to get into the reservoir compartment. Use a Q-tip to wipe up the moisture.
You
• MUST remove all air bubbles, larger than champagne-sized, from your tubing and reservoir. Delivery of air
bubbles can result in unexpected hyperglycemia.
Do
• NOT use an infusion set if the sterile packaging has been damaged.
Use
• ONLY the Aviator infusion sets intended for your pump. NOT using the correct infusion set may result in
adverse medical events or serious injury.
You need to install the reservoir in the pump and prime tubing before attaching the infusion set to your body.
•
If the infusion set is attached to your body when priming, this may result in accidental delivery of insulin and •
possible adverse medical events (including serious injury).
If reservoir, infusion set tubing or cannula is improperly primed, this may result in delivery errors and adverse
•
medical events or serious injury.
Prime infusion set cannula after every infusion set change.
•
Basal Rates
You should • NOT stop your daily basal delivery program without consulting your healthcare professional. When
NO basal insulin is being delivered, this can lead to hyperglycemia and DKA. Insulin MUST BE delivered by an-
other means. Discuss with your healthcare professional regarding how long you can safely stop your basal rate.
STOP
• basal delivery before removing the reservoir.
Accurate basal rate programming and appropriate selection of the active Basal Program are necessary to avoid
•
adverse medical events or serious injury.
STOP
• basal delivery before removing the battery (Section 3.1.3).
Bolus and IOB
When changing batteries, leaving them out for more than 15 minutes may delete your time and date settings •
and IOB (Insulin on Board) calculations. Your pump may also lose the history of any recent boluses. Ensure that
your pump settings are current after replacing the batteries as described in Section 6.1.
