Pump safety features
Safe telemetry
Your Pump will respond only to telemetry commands from your PPC.
Your Pump will not change when exposed to electromagnetic fields, such
as microwave ovens, garage door openers, airport security systems, and
television or video remote controls.
Alarms
The most important safety feature of your Pump is its self-checking cir-
cuitry. If your Pump is not working properly, it will signal you with an
alarm message on the PPC screen and then automatically turn itself off.
This feature ensures that your Pump will always deliver insulin in a con-
trolled, predictable manner.
Negative pressure reservoir
The Pump reservoir has a negative pressure (vacuum) which will draw in
fluids. In the event of a Pump malfunction, this vacuum assures your insu-
lin will stay in the reservoir. Dont worry, there are multiple safety fea-
tures to assure that your body fluids wont enter the Pump. Only the
pumping mechanism can overcome this negative pressure and deliver
insulin to your body.
