Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The CoZmonitor® module doesn’t t securely
against my pump.
• Makesureyouareusingthebatterycapthatwas
supplied with the CoZmonitor® module rather
than the one originally supplied with your pump.
e battery cap supplied with the module is
slightly longer than the standard battery cap, so
that it holds the module against the pump and still
holds the battery in place.
Warning: Make sure that the battery cap is fully
tightened to avoid an interruption in battery
power which can cause the pump to power
down and stop the delivery of insulin. A pro-
longed interruption in the delivery of insulin
can result in serious patient injury or death.

the base of the thumb will show rapid changes to
the blood glucose sooner than tests performed on
alternate sites. If you are testing for hypoglycemia
(low blood glucose) or you have hypoglycemia
unawareness, you should always test on the tip of
the nger or palm at the base of the thumb.
